Dear Federation Leaders,
First, I want to wish you all a happy New Year! I sincerely hope 2021 treats us all a little more kindly than 2020 did.
For those of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting, I serve as First Vice President of the National Association of Blind Students (NABS). NABS is excited to continue meeting the needs of our students as we continue to navigate this pandemic together. I am so excited to share that registration for our Midwest Student Seminar is now open! Our theme this year is “Marching Towards Your Authenticity.” Our Midwest student seminar will be taking place March 19-20, 2021. This virtual program is dedicated to equip students with the knowledge and expertise to emulate their authentic selves in all facets of life, including academic settings, the workplace, and social environments. We know that the year 2020 has taken a tole on the mental health of our members, many of whom have experienced difficulties maintaining their academic successes, social groups or environments, and even parts of their identities. Our program, rife with interactive activities, guest speakers, and opportunities to grow, aims to help each and every attendee reaffirm the elements of their authentic self. After all, we wouldn’t be a division full of diversity without the unparalleled qualities of our members. We would greatly appreciate it if you could spread the word to any students who may be interested. We are so excited for a weekend filled with opportunities to grow, learn, and have fun!
Students can register at:
The deadline for registration and payment of the $25 registration fee is March 1, 2021 at 11:59 PM CST. We in no way, shape, or form want finances to deter student attendance. If the $25 registration fee stands in the way of a student’s attendance or you have additional questions about the registration process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at kfl...@keniaflores.com. Additionally, I am attaching our flyer to this email for your convenience.
Thank you so much for all the work you do to build the National Federation of the Blind!
Best,
Kenia
Kenia Flores
