[nfbwatlk] New Division for Access Technology teachers

[Jim Portillo]

Hello everyone!
    
For the past year, there's been talk about forming a new division for NFB members and those interested in the field of access technology training for the blind.  Whether you're an instructor working at a training center, a private contractor, or someone who just tutors other blind people in the use of computers and access technology, this division will have many issues to discuss and ideas to share.

Currently, we have our Trainer-talk listserv, and that has been going well.  Now, it is time to take it one step further.  So, if this interest you, please come join us on Monday, July 3, at the NFB convention for our first meeting.  We will meet from one to five PM in the Cardinal A Room, in Dallas.  

Please e-mail me if you have questions or general comments before the meeting.  We're finalizing our agenda as we speak, so we won't go into detail right now.  Come and find out what access technology instructors are talking about and wanting to know.  You may also contact me via phone at home: 206-789-0141 or cell: 206-579-9702.  You may also contact Mike Barber, who has been helping me in putting this together at:

Cordially,
Jim Portillo
