[NABS-L] NFB National Convention Next Year

Sun Sep 30 23:42:03 UTC 2018

Hi Helga!!

I am so excited to hear of this! I would love to connect with your friend in
the UK. He would absolutely be able to use the hotel NFB rates, and
registration, etc. I am uncertain of whether he could be eligible for the
Jernigan scholarship, but am leaning toward not.

Thanks so much for your outreach!

Love,
Kathryn

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

Jernigan scholarship, but I'm not sure if they would be willing to pay for
international airfare. 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.

National Convention will be held next year in Las Vegas. I have  a friend
from the UK-United Kingdom 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!
