We are hosting quarterly Open House teleconferences for individuals who are curious about the National Federation of the Blind. The Open House will present potential members with an opportunity to receive information from and ask questions of Federationists to dispel the myths and misconceptions about the NFB and highlight the benefits of membership. Chapters and affiliates should share this invitation on your social media and disseminate it to anyone who may be interested in joining. You should have received the Open House toolkit earlier in the year. To keep the list of participants small enough on each call so that it will be engaging and effective, individuals will need to RSVP by emailing </span><a href="mailto:membership@nfb.org"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">membership@nfb.org</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">.
