You can also ask Adrijana. She did a lot of research on this last year when she was a first-timer.

My best suggestion would be to send President Riccobono an email at officeofthepresident at nfb.org. Since the first-timers programs are run out of the national office, he will know where to direct you to.

I have  a friend from the UK-United Kigdom that will like to come next year to the Convention. He is also visually impaired.  My question is, is it possible for him to come to the Convention as a first timer? Is there any scholarships that he can apply to be able to come? I'm just wondering since he is from another country. Who do I contact  in order to ask  this sort  of question? Just wondering. My friend just would like to come. I'm not so sure if he can use the NFB rates  as well.  I look forward in hearing from you soon. Thanks so much!

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.
