[Nfbnet-members-list] 2019 NFB Washington Seminar information on NFB-NEWSLINE

[White, Scott]

Next week, the blind of this nation are headed to DC next week for 
our annual Washington Seminar. Many of you will be visiting the 
capitol to speak with your legislators. 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. 
Approximately three legislative initiatives are chosen for priority 
attention during the Washington Seminar.
