Thank you Jimmy for this.
I can add that I was on the founding committee for this group and served as
vice-president for the first year.
Having two NOMC on the board is in the actual bylaws of the articles of
incorporation, meaning that the organization is not complete without two
NOMC.
I don't know if this organization will amount to anything useful or helpful
for us, but it is the first time in our history that an organization was
formed to include NOMC as equal partners in its effort, rather than a
nuisance group of consumers to be avoided.

Subject: Seeking Board member for OMSA
Good afternoon to all my NOMC family,
My name is Jimmy Morris and as you may know, OMSA was created about three
years ago to create a collaboration between NOMC, COMS, and Guide dog
trainers. I have been serving on the board for the last year and I honestly
believe this group is committed to being inclusive. OMSA is seeking another
NOMC to serve on the board. If you are interested in this opportunity,
please reach out to me for more details and information. I can be reached
by email: jimorris0116 at gmail.com or call:
434-547-2720.
Thanks for your consideration in advance, and I look forward for the
opportunity to chat with you.
Jimmy L. Morris, MA NOMC
