[NABS-L] Follow-Up to our January DARE Call Focusing on Washington Seminar

[Kaleigh Brendle]

NABS,

Thank you so much to all of you who were able to attend our call on Sunday
night; we just wanted to circle back and send along a few additional
resources that can help you all prepare for our time in Washington in just
a few short weeks!

The first of these is the link to the NFB’s Washington Seminar fact page.
This contains information on how to register, the schedule of events for
each day, and direct links to fact sheets for each legislative priority for
this year.

The meeting we hosted last night is not the only opportunity you all have
to see a mock Congressional meeting and learn how to craft your pitch to
your state’s legislators. The Federation will be hosting another training
on Thursday, January 23rd at 8 PM Eastern via Zoom. The log-in information
is below:

If you have any questions about any of this year’s legislative priorities,
you can also reach out to our Government Affairs specialists, by either
emailing jshirek at nfb.org or jyoung at nfb.org.

Finally, we received a question about how you can get involved with
Washington Seminar. If you’d like to participate, or you’ve registered and
are looking to find out which priority you’ll be speaking about, reach out
to your affiliate president. A directory of affiliate president contact
info can be found here: https://nfb.org/about-us/state-affiliates
