VISAbilities June 18, 2021 Convention Spotlight Part 5. Peter Altschul employment Committee, Leslie Spoone Auction Committee Chair, and Michael Smitherman Exhibit Hall Chair.

June 18, 2021

In addition to all the programming presented by the special-interest affiliates of ACB during convention week, lots of other fun, interesting, and exciting events and meetings are on the calendar. We are going to explore some of these dynamic happenings this week and next. I am pleased to welcome Leslie Spoone, who will tell us all about the annual auction she coordinates as a major fundraiser and fun time. How can we donate? How can we participate? She has all the answers. Peter Altschul will give us a rundown of what the Employment Committee has in store. And, time permitting, we will hear about one more fun night to look forward to during convention.
