              This year it will be extremely important to attend the
caucus.  As there are necessary changes to the format and procedures of the
convention, It is necessary for your delegates to know the thoughts and
desires of our constituents.

              Prior to the caucus everyone must read through the
resolutions to be addressed by the convention.  We will not take time
during the caucus to read each resolution.  They will be available on
NEWSLINE and
https://www.nfb.org/resources/speeches-and-reports/resolutions/2020-resolutions
 Wednesday evening.

              Only the delegates will be able to make nominations or
motions during the convention.  We need to know of any motions/nominations
our members desire.

              There are also a number of announcements I need to share with
everyone.

*“**The National Federation of the Blind 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.”*
