This is a reminder of the email sent on April 5.
Our national convention takes place this year during July 8-13 in New Orleans. Besides the experience of being in New Orleans, the convention provides the opportunity to meet blind people from all over the country and even the world and to network with people who share your particular interests. Whether you need assistance in getting a job, want to see the latest technology, need tips from other students on how to navigate today’s complicated educational system, or want to meet other successful blind people, the convention is the place to do that. Listening to the presidential report is an inspiring way to get a sense of the many activities and projects in which we’ve been involved during the past year. The address that our president gives at our banquet provides a broad context for all that we do.
While many of us attend the convention every year at our own expense, we recognize that finances can sometimes make attending the convention difficult, often when it would be most helpful.
The NFB of Minnesota is making available financial assistance to attend the national convention this summer. The deadline for that application is May 15 so there is a little more time. The chair of our Financial Assistance Committee is Jan Bailey. Here is a note from her with additional details:
