>> Dr. Maurer-

>> One of the items that we spoke about awhile back was SSB BART Group's 
>> need to recruit qualified individuals with disabilities to work for 
>> our testing organization.
>>  One of the biggest challenges that we face over the next few months 
>> is hiring qualified people to help satisfy the demand that we see in 
>> the market for our services.  As part of that, we were hoping to work 
>> with the NFB to extend employment opportunities for members of your 
>> organization.
>>
>> Currently, we are looking for individuals with technical backgrounds 
>> and experience that can work doing technology assessments, AT 
>> scripting and provide general 508 services.  I have attached a copy of
> 
>> a sample job description for your reference.  We have positions 
>> available out of both the east coast office and the west coast office.
> 
>> Our most acute need is in the east coast office so those candidates 
>> will take priority.  We are willing to setup relocation packages for 
>> people but if someone is already in the area obviously that makes 
>> things easier.
>>
>> At this point I figure I wanted to send this to you to get some 
>> direction on how best to coordinate this with at the NFB.  Let me know
> 
>> how best to proceed and I will plan accordingly.
>>
>> On a separate topic, when you have a moment we need to discuss the 
>> current state of the Action Fund notes with SSB and their disposition 
>> going forward.
>>   I am sure your time has been at a premium with the conference but 
>> the continued lack of resolution on the notes is impairing the 
>> company's operations and recruiting abilities - so the sooner we can 
>> get it resolved the sooner we can get back to the business of 
>> providing a sizable return on the investment.
>>  I am available to discuss whenever your schedule permits so let me 
>> know what times you have available and I will plan accordingly.
>>
>> My thanks on both counts,
>>
