Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the 75 Days of Action Campaign?

A. The 75 days of Action Campaign is an opportunity for our dedicated and
committed NFB leaders around the country to work in 75 days of action to
build 75 new NFB chapters and divisions, and to strengthen 75 of our
existing chapters and divisions that may not be so strong.

 

Q. When does the 75 Days of Action Campaign begin?

A. The 75 Days of Action Campaign begins on the second of September and runs
through the 16th of November. The sixteenth of November begins the
seventy-fifth year of the National Federation of the Blind.

 

Q. How can I join the 75 Days of Action Campaign?

A. You can become a chapter builder by e-mailing 75days at nfb.org and letting
us know that you are seriously interested in working on building a chapter
in your area or some town or city near you that may not have a NFB chapter.

 

Q. Do you have training materials or tools that can help me start building
or strengthening a chapter?

A. The 75 Days of Action Committee will hold regular telephone conference
calls to provide training on the ways to effectively build chapters and they
will also provide some written material to help you get started. To fit in
with your busy schedules, these training sessions will be held several times
per week beginning in early August. Your commitment to the campaign does not
require you to be on multiple calls per week. The calls should be viewed as
a resource, a way to share information and celebrate success.

 

Q. Do I have a 75 Days of Action Committee regional coordinator that I can
turn to for advice and direction during the time I work on building a
chapter?

A. Each member of the steering committee, which was appointed by the
National Federation of the Blind president, has responsibility to work with
a number of state affiliate presidents and members from those specific
states who are working on building chapters in their affiliate. Ask your
state president who your regional coordinator is or email 75days at nfb.org.
The regional coordinator will be available for tips and ideas. 

Q. What happens on the 76th day?

 

A. After the 75 Days of Action Campaign, we will celebrate a milestone
accomplishment of building the Federation in a powerful manner.  We will
maintain our momentum through the efforts of an enhanced Membership
Committee.  The NFB Membership Committee has already begun to evolve into a
dynamic on-going effort to support our affiliates and divisions.  The tools
and strategies developed and implemented through the 75 Days of Action
Campaign will be replicated, disseminated, and improved by the members of
this committee.  Regular calls will be held where affiliates, divisions, and
chapters will be encouraged to share their evolving strategies with each
other.
