Earl B. would like some type of informal meeting

4. Reading of NFB Letter with group discussion

    * Letter was written on June 4, 2020

    * Racism has happened for 80 years and it is now time for a change

    * There is intense grief and learning and we must stand together    and install anti-racism work with our organization

    * We must ask nonblack members to reflect and do something to take place for the black lives matter movement

Group Discussion

    * Lots of discussion about how our chapter will help support Black Lives Matter.
    * Lots of questions about what individuals can do and how they can learn.
    * People are happy to hear these things over and over again in public spaces.
    * Strong sentiment that there are lots of words and feelings, but no actions so far. How can we put our money and privilege where our mouth is?
    * Richie suggests creating a scholarship for a black blind person, along with our mentorship and support.
    * The suggestion was made to  start a monthly conversation around race.
    * The suggestion was made to find a way to make feeding people an act of service our chapter could do in support of Black Lives Matter.
    * Think about a time when you have faced a personal difficulty.  Your friends know about it and say "what I can do to help", or "is there anything I can do to help."  This is usually not a useful thing to offer.  It is generally much better to show up with something.  A card, groceries, a hug, etc.  Doing the work to figure out what is needed goes a long way.
    * Jim moved that the chapter set aside a minimum of $500.00 to spend on a project to support Black Lives Matter.  Cindy and Serena seconded.  It was unanimously passed by attendees.
    
Care Check-Ins

    Jim is starting an effort to reach out to those who are known to us but aren't coming to chapter meetings.  Jim is putting together the list and is working with folks to come up with a script.
    Jim needs volunteers to make calls.

   Volunteers:  Jim, Taryn, Christina, Adam, Cindy, Lisa, Sara, Laura, Amy (for tech), Jeff Buckwalter

5. National Convention Information

    Talked about the structure of the convention, how resolutions are voted on.  The difference between a committee and a division.

    We will discuss a non-meeting meeting during convention.

6. Announcements

    In two weeks, Jim will have NFB leadership speech discussion and will email out link to speech

    There is a daily social community call on Bay Area Blind Facebook page 

    Thank you for candid opinions and discussion and thank Laura for organizing Connections call before meeting

 Interviews workshop
Message-ID: <CA+5c=QXUsNe-6b1su8RQK8qK_X2mKE6gLb-9Tfxt4UYY7j44Ow@mail.gmail.com>

Youth of Tomorrow?s workshop in September ? Exploring Careers and
Informational Interviews, we will put together the skills we?ve learned
throughout the year to conduct an informational interview to explore
careers! Informational interviews are an excellent way to get an inside
look into careers. Unlike an interview for a job, you can get inside
information about what it is like to do someone?s job to figure out whether
the job is for you.



In this workshop, we will talk informally about careers we?d like to
explore and practice conducting our own informational interviews in a fun
and relaxed atmosphere. We will also discuss the purpose of an
informational interview and how to start networking to find someone to
interview as well as come up with questions so that you are ready to
conduct an informational interview on your own.



Workshop - Sept 26 from 10 am - 12pm PDT



Who: Youth with visual impairments ages 14-24

Where: Zoom link to be sent the week of the event

Subject: [NFBSF] This Tuesday!! August 25th at 8 P.M. NFB San Francisco
 Chapter's next monthly "Banquet Speech Review and Leadership Development
 Discussion" group
Message-ID: <20200824052844.GA18866@barcore.com>

Hello All,

Our next "Banquet Speech Review and Leadership Development Discussion" group will be on THIS Tuesday, August 25th at 8 PM Pacific time.

The San Francisco NFB chapter is listening to and discussing one NFB speech per month.  Jim Barbour is facilitating these discussions.

One of the best ways to develop NFB leadership is to deepen our understanding of our NFB philosophy.  And, one of the best ways to deepen our understanding of NFB philosophy is by reading and discussing speeches and publications from current and former NFB leaders.

Our next speech will be "Directing Big Data and Technological Innovation: Perspectives on the Importance of Leadership by the Blind", by Chancey Fleet.  "Chancey speaks to the proven techniques that have been a part of our independence, to the new technology that can either expand or limit it, and to the necessity of us seeing that it does the former rather than the latter. With her firm philosophical understanding, her impressive grasp of current technology, and the gift she has for blending all of this into something that speaks to us all"
