Subject: [NFB-Legislative-Directors] 2025 Washington Seminar: Hotel Last Call, First Training Details, and Fact Sheets!

Dear Affiliate Presidents and Legislative Directors:

Happy New Year! Now that 2025 has begun, we are in high gear as far as Washington Seminar planning goes. This email will cover three very important topics pertaining to the 2025 Washington Seminar. 

First, and most urgent, I wanted to give you a quick update that the Holiday Inn has graciously extended our room block until the end of the day tomorrow, Friday, January 3. So if you haven’t already reserved your room, please do so as soon as possible. This will be your last opportunity to reserve a room at our special rate of $194 per night (plus taxes and fees). You can reserve a room by calling the hotel directly at 877-834-3613 and providing our group code, NF5. You can also book a room using our dedicated booking link <https://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/find-hotels/select-roomrate?fromRedirect=true&qSrt=sBR&qIta=99801505&icdv=99801505&qSlH=WASSM&qCiD=30&qCiMy=002025&qCoD=07&qCoMy=012025&qGrpCd=NF5&setPMCookies=true&qSHBrC=HI&qDest=550%20C%20Street%20S.W.,%20Washington,%20DC,%20US&srb_u=1&qChAge=&qRmFltr=> .

Second, the first of our four Washington Seminar Zoom training sessions will take place one week from today, on Thursday, January 9, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. The topic of this first training will be our three Washington Seminar issues for 2025: the Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act, the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act, and the Blind Americans Return to Work Act. The Zoom information for this training is:

And finally, to prepare yourselves for that training, you will want to review the fact sheets for our three Washington Seminar issues, all of which are now available on the Washington Seminar page of our website at nfb.org/Washington-seminar. All three are currently available in Word, HTML, and audio formats. We will be adding a BRF format soon. 

That’s all the new information we have for now, but keep checking the Washington Seminar Page for updates.

See you in DC in 32 days!
