Welcome to the CCB Happenings for November 1, 2024.
From the Membership Committee:
The California Council of the Blind is facing a number of challenges, from recruiting new members and retaining current ones to getting our 501(3)(c) status back. A few months ago we sent out a survey asking you, the members, to tell us about your hopes for the organization’s future and why you got involved in the first place. We received 25 responses, which we appreciate, but we need more input.
Please fill out this survey telling us about your hopes, frustrations, goals and challenges with CCB. If you are uncomfortable filling it out online, please reach out to Shana Ray at elmindreda214@gmail.com with your contact information, and she will reach out to help you fill it out over the phone. Please share this survey widely and help make our organization better. Please complete by November 15. Thank you.
