Hey NABS Family,
As you already know, the National Federation of the Blind is an organization of the blind speaking for themselves in all matters that concern the blind.
We come together to educate the public, elected representatives and ourselves about blindness and the true abilities of blind people.
The most effective way of coming together is on the local level via our chapters.
We have over 700 chapters last I heard and chances are that there is one near where you live or go to school. If there isn’t a physical chapter there almost always is a at-large chapter in your state which meets via telephone.
?We believe there is no real substitute for the in-person interaction and bonding that comes from a local in-person chapter meeting, but the most important thing is to connect.
I’ve given this lon-winded introduction to ask you this question: Are you a member of a chapter? if so, what has your experience been? if not, what holds you back from the involvement in a chapter that you desire.
interested to hear your thoughts.
Darian
