The NFB 2022 National Convention will take place from July 5 - 10, 2022 in
New Orleans Louisiana.  We are very excited to pass the convention hosting
torch to the Louisiana affiliate.  The convention will take place at the New
Orleans Marriott, and you may make your reservation by calling 800-654-3990.
The overflow hotel is the Sheraton New Orleans, and the Exhibit Hall will be
located here.  To reserve a room at the overflow hotel, call 855-516-1090.
The rooming rate is $109 per night plus tax at both hotels.  Preregistration
for the convention will open on March 1 and will close May 31, 2022.  

 

First time national convention attendees may apply for the Kenneth Jernigan
Scholarship, which is a grant the NFB provides to people who have not
attended a national convention in person previously.  The deadline is April
15, 2022.  Visit this link for more information on how to apply.

Those from Maryland who are seeking financial assistance should speak with
their chapter president to find out what assistance their local chapter may
have available.  The affiliate's Financial Assistance Application Form is
now live and must be submitted by March 31, 2022.  It can be found at
<http://www.nfbmd.org/financialassistance>
http://www.nfbmd.org/financialassistance.  Please note that though the
Financial Assistance Committee will give due consideration to every
application, the affiliate has limited resources and is unable to grant
every request.  For questions about the Financial Assistance Application
Program, please reach out to your chapter president or me at
<mailto:President at nfbmd.org> President at nfbmd.org.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows 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. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
