From Marlon Stover, President:

Hi all,


Are you wondering how recent federal changes will impact services for blind  Americans?
Do you have concerns about the outlook for jobs within the blindness services field?
Do you want to know how to educate yourself and your consumers?
Are you concerned that you have the right to advocate without crossing professional boundaries?

Then you won't want to miss the National Federation of the Blind Policy and Advocacy training for the National Association of Blind Rehabilitation Professionals division.

The National Federation of the Blind Advocacy and Policy department will provide a review of the various policy letters issued by President Riccobono  over the past couple of weeks. These letters include: Letter Regarding Texas v. Kennedy Lawsuit (March 4, 2025) Letter  Regarding Expiration of Medicare Telehealth Benefits  March 5, 2025) Letter Regarding Executive Order Directing the Elimination of the Institute  of Museum and Library Services (March 19, 2025) Letter Regarding Executive Order Directing the Closure of the Department of  Education (March 25, 2025) Letter Regarding Social Security Administration Downsizing (not yet available)

All of these letters will be posted on our website at
