As you may know, registration is now open, and like last year, Convention registration is free!! At a meeting this morning, I learned that 1000 plus people have already registered through the end of last week. Don’t know how many from Colorado, but I’m sure we’ll be getting periodic reports. Last year, we registered 355 folks from the Centennial State, and I hope we can do more this year. Depending on the health conditions and public safety guidelines at the time, my hope is that we can organize several Convention activities throughout the State such as gatherings for the Banquet and so on. It could be a lot of fun. In any event, if you haven’t registered yet, please do so by going to:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nfb.org/registration">www.nfb.org/registration</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now, if you are having trouble registering, we can help out.

Often times, registering for tests or vaccinations occurs online. As you might imagine, many providers don’t even consider accessibility of their websites or apps when tossing their sites up. So, we are asking everyone to fill out a survey about your experiences.
