[NFBF-L] town hall Meeting tonight at 7:00PM

[president at nfbflorida.org]

Greetings Florida Federationistts,

 

We will be having our  town hall meeting this evening at 7:00PM via Zoom.

 

Our 2024 State Convention in Jacksonville, Florida is just two months away
and I decided to bring our membership together tonight so the affiliate
board can provide necessary information as we finalize our arrangements for
our convention.

 

The calling information is below and I urge all chapters and divisions board
members present, members, Kenneth Jernigan scholarship winners, recipients
of the Florida  sponsorships, and perspective members to the blind movement
to be present in order to obtain very important information regarding our
convention.

 

Please ensure that this correspondence is widely distributed within the
chapters and divisions membership.  I would like to see a large contingency
of our members together so they are actively participating in our affiliate
as we experience during our national convention.  Let's keep the enthusiasm
that we  all shared during our national convention so we can make our 2024
state convention memorable.

 

Just a few topics that will be covers are as follows:

*	Online registration
*	National representative 
*	Auction 
*	  Rooms for chapters / divisions .
*	Pledges from chapters / divisions 
*	 Student scholarships 
*	 Affiliate sponsorship  for first timers only
*	2025 state convention 
*	 Washington Seminar 

 

As mentioned, we will be having online registration on our NFB of Florida
website and the affiliate board had the opportunity to test and register
themselves.  There will be other minor tweaks to ensure the registration
process is efficient and seamlessly.  I am expected to have the registration
form online by mid-week when all bugs are worked out.

 

Like I stated above, the zoom calling information  follows below for your
convenience.

house rules: 

*	All participants will be muted upon entry. 
*	Each participant will be given the opportunity to ask one question. 
*	Please raise your hand, once the floor is open,  if you wish to ask
a question (phone: press *6 to raise your hand; computer: Windows users
press Alt plus Y and Mac users press Option plus Y; app: press the 'raise
hand" button at the bottom of your screen or by selecting it on the screen
after you have selected your name in the participants list) 
*	The host or co-hosts will ask you to unmute before you can unmute
yourself.     

 Note: Zoom has made some changes to our Zoom account in recent months. At
this time, we have a waiting room enabled for all Zoom rooms. Please be
patient while the host and co-hosts admit you to the Zoom room.
