Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well in 2014. I have a
few things to inform you so be sure to read this
email all the way through so that you dont miss anything.
First of all the agenda for the 2014 NFB
Convention is on the web and is ready in both
accessible pdf and Microsoft Word format. If
anyone is having trouble with any of these
formats, let me know. I have taken the time to
have the files saved in multiple formats such as txt and html formats.
Next, Mary Donahue, Vice President of our
division, inform me a couple of months ago that
she will not be at this years NFB convention
because of several issues being dealt with at
this time. She chose not to run for the position
for the next 2 years. That means I will be
looking for someone to run the position as vice
president for the organization. In case I cant
make future meetings because of health reasons,
the vice president will fill my slot if needed.
Next, anyone wishing to pay yearly dues, it is
$5.00 per year. Debbie Brown is our treasurer
and will be responsible for taking and keeping track of who pays.
This year we have scheduled 2 meetings at this NFB convention.

If you are a parent of a blind child, teacher of
blind/visually impaired children, a
rehabilitation teacher, or interested in learning
whats happening in the Braille field, join us to
get hands-on experience. Presented by the
National Association of Blind Office
Professionals Division; Lisa Hall, President
I am working on agendas for both events at this time.
If you can attend the meetings, please come. Let
everyone you know to come and learn what is going
on in the office field. We also have some
exciting things happening in the Braille field as well.
I hope that the agenda that Im putting together
will be beneficial and helpful. If you have any
ideas and know of a contact person for that
topic, let me know as soon as possible.
I have one last thing. This year is an election
year. All officers are up for election. It is my
hope that Debbie Brown and Kevin Ledford are
ready to give their minutes and treasurers
report. Please send your minutes and reports to me as soon as you can.
If anyone have any issues to be addressed, write
to me at
<mailto:lhall007 at cinci.rr.com>lhall007 at cinci.rr.com
or call me at home at (513) 931-7070 or cell phone at (513) 550-5155.
During convention week, contact me on my cell
phone since I may not have access to email on the road.
If you prefer, you can send text message by using
my cell phone number. I have a couple of Braille
displays and will have them at convention. I now
own an iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini. Both of these
devices can be used with my Focus 40 and 14 Braille displays.
If you never had an opportunity to get hands-on
experience in learning to navigate and use it,
let me know and I can set up a time for
individualize training if needed. I will also
have my wireless Apple keyboard, external
speaker, and a couple of headphones for anyone to try it.
See everyone in Orlando, Florida.
Sincerely,
Lisa Hall, President
National Association of Blind Office Professionals (NABOP)
