Hi All, We recently awarded a small grant to the organization hosting the Experience Programming In Quorum (EPIQ) 2017 conference in Wisconsin. It is an excellent workshop for TVIs (beginners to advanced) who are interested in learning how to teach Computer Science to blind and visually impaired students (K-12). Specifically, our funding will be used for travel stipends, with priority given to New York TVIs, who would like to attend the conference but the cost (for travel) prohibits their attendance. Here is the link to the conference: https://www.quorumlanguage.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/12/02/epiq-2017-announcement/ We are trying to get the word out to TVIs about the EPIQ conference, but cannot find a specific distribution list for TVIs in New York State. I am hoping you would be kind enough to provide some guidance on the best mechanism to get this information out to NY area TVIs including upstate NY perhaps through BOCES or the New York State AER. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Sincerely, Dianna Kelly-Naghizadeh Grant Program Manager Reader's Digest *Partners for Sight Foundation* **NOTE NEW ADDRESS* *118 North Bedford Road* *Suite 100* *Mt.
