Subject: [Mabs] NABS Membership Committee Update


> Dear students:
>
>    Just a brief update on the NABS Membership Committee, which met this
> past Monday night.  Our top priority is consolidating our membership
> directories into a single online database.  Part of the task is
> concentrating the data.  Another part involves setting up the database so
> that we can accommodate future membership.  The final component involves
> tending to the subscription requests generated from our online 
> registration.
> A different objective is to reintroduce our NABS teleconferences.  We are
> aiming at early April to host what we feel will be a popular meeting. 
> More
> details coming soon.  Finally, there are steps underway to enter into and
> improve our multimedia visibility.  In addition to working with the web 
> site
> committee, we are looking into ways to introduce a NABS podcast.  We are 
> all
> very excited to get these projects off the ground.  It's never too late to
> join the committee.  Please e-mail me so that you can be included in our
> correspondence.  Together we'll confirm NABS is the leading resource for
> blind students all over America.  Special thanks to the current members 
> who
> have given of their time to take the first step.  You'll be hearing from
> these dynamic individuals very soon.
