All,

I would like to inform you of the creation of a new organization
tentatively
called The International Association of Visually Impaired Computer
Professionals. The purpose of the organization is threefold:
1. To serve as a source for information on adaptive techniques for
visually
impaired computer professionals.
2. To serve as a source for social networking for visually impaired
computer
professionals.
3. To serve as an advocate for visually impaired computer professionals.

A Board of Directors for this organization is being formed now. Anyone
interested in being on the board should contact me as soon as possible
at
= EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = .

We are in the process of establishing tax exempt status for our group
under
the laws of the United States. However, members of the Board of
Directors
need not be Americans. In fact, we'd prefer to have an international
Board
of Directors.

Please direct questions to me at = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = . And please feel
free
to forward this message to anyone who might be interested.
