[president at nfbofillinois.org]

Hello,

 

It’s convention time! Do you want to attend our state 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 our state convention 😊

 

You can complete the application online at https://nfbofillinois.org/chappell-dennis-award/application.  The deadline for submission is Monday, September 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 2025 National Federation of the Blind of Illinois convention in Naperville. E-mail president at nfbofillinois.org <mailto:president at nfbofillinois.org>  if you have questions or concerns.

 

The convention is Friday, October 17-Sunday, October 19. Make every effort to be at the convention. I am looking forward to an excellent state convention with our members and friends!

Live the life you want!

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Illinois advances the lives of its members and all blind people in Illinois. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 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.
