[IABS-Talk] Calling all cane tappers and tail wagging teams for our 2026 national convention

[president at nfbofillinois.org]

Hello,

 

It’s convention time! Do you want to attend our national convention but money is tight? If so, apply for the Chappell-Dennis grant. The National Federation of the Blind of Illinois offers modest grants to its members to attend state and national programming and national convention is no exception 😊

 

You can complete the application online at https://nfbofillinois.org/chappell-dennis-award/application.  The deadline for submission is Friday, May 1 at 11:59 pm, CT. The online form is new but we hope it will streamline our processes. Visit the form and apply for a grant to attend our 2026 National Federation of the Blind convention in Austin, TX. E-mail president at nfbofillinois.org <mailto:president at nfbofillinois.org>  if you have questions or concerns.

 

I am looking forward to an excellent national convention with thousands of our members and friends!

 

Warmly,

 

 

Marilyn Green, President

National Federation of the Blind of Illinois

Live the life you want!

 

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
