[NFB-Krafters-Korner] 2020 Convention Update

[hosbornejr at gmail.com]

Hi Tammy, if you plan to have a business meeting, I suggest that you have a board meeting to plan for it because folks who don't usually go to convention because of whatever their reasons are may call into the business meeting to speak and that could lead to a lot of confusion with people wanting to talk over each other.
Just my two cents worth.

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] 2020 Convention Update

If you made plans to attend the 2020 National Federation of the Blind National Convention, PLEASE read this important UPDATE!  I just got this fromwww.nfb.org.
***Update***
Considering the ongoing impact and wide-ranging effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 National Convention will be held virtually for the first time.

Join us as we celebrate NFB’s eightieth anniversary and expand our circle of participation, connecting blind Americans from coast to coast for what we expect to be the largest gathering of blind people in history.

*The 2020 National Convention was originally scheduled to take place in Houston, Texas at the Hilton Americas-Houston.

How to Participate
The agenda for the 2020 National Convention will feature most of the elements our members know and love, with some new twists. There will be multiple ways to participate in and interact with all convention events, from video conferencing to phone access. Plus, as local conditions permit, NFB affiliates will organize in-person gatherings in conjunction with sessions being held at the national level to enhance the convention experience.

Hotel Reservations
*If you booked hotel reservations at the Hilton Americas-Houston or the Marriott Marquis Houston, you will receive a full refund of any deposit collected by the hotel. The hotel will contact you no later than May 1 to confirm the amount to be credited.

Registration
Members are requested and non-members are invited to register at no cost in order to get access to exclusive offers, convention announcements, door prizes, and other exciting content.

Register today for the 2020 National Convention.

*Operating the national convention virtually still costs money. While registration is free, we welcome and encourage donations to support our ongoing work to protect the rights of all blind Americans.

*If you previously registered for the 2020 National Convention, either online or through the mail, you will be contacted about your registration fees and banquet ticket ***
