>> Hello Everyone,
>>
>> I have a question about how to best accommodate active ACB members who 
>> try
>> to join the NFB. My understanding is that NFB policies prohibit ACB/NFB
>> dual membership. We have an ACB member in our midst who was informed 
>> about
>> the policy, whereupon she denied her affiliation with ACB. We have
>> philosophical differences concerning this issue: Some members believe 
>> that
>> we should take her word for it and allow her to participate fully in NFB
>> activities in the hopes that she will ultimately become a functional
>> member; others request that her terminated affiliation with ACB be
>> verified
>> to  ensure that our chapters are not infiltrated by ACB members who
>> believe
>> that their mission is to 'reform' the NFB.
>>
>> I wonder if you have a similar experience to report, and what the best
>> strategy is to expand our membership without jeopardizing our philosophy
>> and policies.
