[Nfbnet-members-list] Join us as we celebrate the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio's Annual Convention

Wed Oct 21 13:33:26 UTC 2020

74th Annual Convention

The Vision Beyond Vision

Join us as we celebrate the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio's
Annual Convention and expand our circle of participation, connecting blind
Ohioans from across the state for what we expect to be the largest gathering
of blind people in the history of Ohio.

Considering the ongoing impact and wide-ranging effects of the COVID-19
pandemic, the 2020 State Convention will be held virtually for the first
time.

We encourage you to begin preparing to attend this outstanding event during
the weekend of November 6th and 7th of 2020. This Convention will be the
largest assembly of blind people in the state this year. It will offer blind
people vision beyond vision, an opportunity to learn about accessible
technology at our Tech Fair, and living with blindness by attending many
educational seminars.

Code of Conduct

We welcome all attendees to our convention and embrace diversity, inclusion,
and mutual respect. Although we are meeting using Zoom, these items are
still relevant. To that end, please keep the following expectations in mind
when you join us:

Through advocacy, public awareness, and mentoring, the National Federation
of the Blind provides support to members and advocates for our rights to
live the lives we want. As a member or guest at our convention, you
represent not only yourself, but also our organization.

We want you to enjoy your time with us, make new friends, and renew old
acquaintances.

Although we encourage members to socialize and have fun, the convention also
provides an important opportunity to come together to continue the work of
our organization, to learn about the important initiatives that we are
involved with on a local and national level, and to plan our work for the
future.

Please remember these guidelines:

1. Welcome new attendees: Although you will undoubtedly enjoy time with your
friends, please reach out to those who have never joined us before and help
them to be comfortable. We welcome people from all walks of life and with
diverse needs and experiences.

2. Attend and participate in sessions.

3. Harassment will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If your
behavior could possibly make anyone uncomfortable, even if you would not be
upset by it yourself, do not do or say anything that could be considered
inappropriate by anyone.

About the NFB-O

The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio is a 501 (c)3 non-profit
organization and a founding affiliate of the National Federation of the
Blind. We are proud to be an integral part of the oldest and largest
organization of the blind in the United States. We are a diverse group of
people dedicated to changing what it means to be blind. Our members work
tirelessly to break down the legal, social, and personal barriers to living
the lives we want.

The mission of the National Federation of the Blind is to achieve widespread
emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of
blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of
information which exist. We do this by bringing blind people together to
share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create
imaginative solutions.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

The NFB Pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of
the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to
support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.

Membership

The NFB-O is Ohio's oldest organization comprised of blind and sighted
people working together to change what it means to be blind. The 2020
Convention will inspire, empower, and celebrate our accomplishments. The NFB
of Ohio also provides encouragement, training, and support to families with
blind children and to veterans and people who are losing vision or have
become blind later in life.

If you would like to join the Ohio affiliate, you may contact William
Turner, Membership Coordinator at (330) 328-9860, and he will refer you to a
local chapter in your area.

National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

2020 Convention Principles of Voting

These principles of voting are proposed for consideration by the National
Federation of the Blind of Ohio Board of Directors for recommendation to the
Convention.

Nothing in these principles of voting is intended to change Article III,
Section A of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio's constitution.
The Convention remains "the supreme authority of the Federation. It is the
legislature of the Federation. As such, it has final authority in all issues
of policy, and members in attendance may participate in all convention
discussions as a matter of right. Any member of the Federation may make or
second motions and propose nominations." These procedures simply implement
the method for following the constitution in an electronic convention.

The below principles and procedures are intended to provide clarity and
advanced notice on how the convention will be managed in 2020. This document
will be read at the NFB of Ohio board meeting on November 6 and then a
second time after the roll call of chapters that afternoon. We will then ask
the Convention to vote on the proposed policy.

Those eligible to

vote on this proposal will be any enrolled voters present and voting at the
session on November

6 as described below.

An ad hoc committee shall deal with all questions and concerns related to
voting. The ad hoc committee will include Eric Duffy, Springfield chapter;
Suzanne Turner, Cleveland chapter, and Cheryl Fields, Cleveland chapter.
Eric Duffy shall chair the Ad Hoc committee.

Voting

All members who are registered for the convention and who have opted into
the voter enrollment system by October 18 will constitute the pool of
convention voters.

All votes will first be conducted by voice. If the president is unable to
determine the outcome of any vote, he will then call for an electronic vote.
On any vote any individual member who is registered for the convention and
who has opted into the voter enrollment system by the specified time may
also call for an electronic vote.

All electronic voting will be done via SMS (text message) or by phone.

Any matter must receive 51 percent support of the votes cast by the
convention voters present and voting in order to be affirmed."Present and
voting" will mean the subset of convention voters who actually cast a vote
on a given question.

Thus voters who are indifferent to a matter cannot block its consideration
by the Convention by choosing not to cast a vote. All electronic votes will
be allocated three minutes for vote time.

If voting indicates 75 percent support for or against a question before
three minutes' having elapsed, the chair may elect to move to the next order
of business.

An opportunity to practice voting will be offered in the convention on a
question that has no impact on the policy of the organization.

Door Prizes and Registration

Registration is now open and free.

Pre-registering for the Ohio Convention by October 27, 2020, makes attendees
eligible for door prizes. Door prizes will be drawn during Pre-Convention
Festivities, General Sessions, and the Banquet. Registration is required,
and you must be present to win. When your name is called, please virtually
raise your hand or email ohioprize at gmail.com <mailto:ohioprize at gmail.com>
within two minutes; which is the designated window of time to claim your
prize. Also, if you would like to donate a door prize, please alert Ohio's
Door Prize Facilitator, Annette Lutz, at the email address above.

Resolutions

All resolutions must be submitted to the resolutions Committee Chair,
Barbara Pierce, no later than October 23. Resolutions will be considered at
the General Session on Saturday, November 7, 2020. For questions, email

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Richard, not sure if you saw my request for the convention agenda to be put
in the body of an email.  For some reason, my jaws will not read the
attachment.  Thanks, Sherry
