[Nfbnet-members-list] Career Fair at Washington Seminar

[David Andrews]

December 12, 2017


Dear Blind Jobseekers,

The National Federation of the Blind of the 
District of Columbia (NFB-DC) will host our 
Washington Seminar Career Fair on January 29, 
2018 from 10am to 2pm at the Holiday Inn Capitol, 
550 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20024. This is an 
annual event targeted at Washington Seminar 
attendees, but everyone else is welcome to attend too.

This is a great opportunity for those of you in 
the Mid-Atlantic States to meet employers face to 
face. It’s a much better way to get a job than 
sending out resumes to people who never have a chance to meet you.

If you are an employer, or know of one who might 
want to attend, I have attached an employer 
registration form.  While the deadline is 
December 15, I imagine NFB-DC will take 
registrations after that date.  Contact Event 
Coordinator Janice Forbes at 
<mailto:janiceforbes2012 at gmail.com>janiceforbes2012 at gmail.com 
for additional information.

Have a wonderful holiday season,

Dick Davis, Chair
NFB Employment Committee

WHAT IS IT?
The Washington Seminar is an annual event of the 
National Federation of the Blind to introduce the 
agenda of blind Americans--the priority issues requiring
congressional attention over the coming year. The 
issues are selected from official positions of 
the Federation and may address concerns in the following
areas: relevant civil rights issues; educational 
programs and services; rehabilitation of the 
blind for competitive employment; the operation of vending
facilities by blind persons on public property; 
specialized library services for the blind; the 
organization and funding of federal programs; Social Security
and Supplemental Income programs; and other timely topics.
EXPECTED ATTENDANCE:
Over five hundred people from the fifty states, 
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Most 
of those attending will be blind. Also on Monday, January
29, 2018, at the National Association of Blind 
Students annual winter seminar, students from 
around the nation gathered to be inspired; to be informed;
and, perhaps most of all, to prepare to take our 
message of equal opportunity for the blind to Capitol Hill.
