*Who We Are & What We Do*
The National Federation of the Blind, the oldest and largest organization
of and for the blind in the US, is made up of blind/ visually impaired
people of all ages, and their families and friends. We help newly blind
people adjust to vision loss, assist parents and teachers of blind
children, and promote the full participation and integration of blind
people in our communities. Our activities include:
• Assisting blind persons in acquiring the skills of independence
• Helping blind persons develop confidence in themselves
• Teaching blind persons the skills of leadership through active
participation in conventions, chapter meetings, and civic activities
• Encouraging blind seniors to continue their active and meaningful
lifestyles
• Preparing blind students for productive, tax-paying careers through
training and academic scholarships
• Supporting parents, teachers, and friends of blind children with
mentoring, role modeling, information, and training
• Informing those losing their sight due to diabetes about techniques
for dealing with vision loss
• Advocating for policies that eliminate discrimination and guarantee
equal access to high quality educational and rehabilitation programs
• Educating the public through community activities and publications
• Protecting and promoting the civil rights of blind persons through
public education and legislative action at the state and national levels
*Spotlight on NFB of NJ*
Since 1976, the National Federation of the Blind of NJ, an affiliate of the
National Federation of the Blind has been providing invaluable information
and resources to blind/visually impaired people throughout the state. Our
members work together for a brighter tomorrow by the raising expectations
for blind people everywhere so that blind persons can live the life they
want. Our eight chapters meet monthly; our nine divisions hold events at
various times through the year. Chapter and division listings are at the
end of this agenda. For more affiliate, chapter, and division news and
information, visit www.nfbnj.org. Please join us—we would welcome your

*Live the Life You Want*
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not 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. Together, with love, hope and
determination, we transform dreams into reality.
*The National Federation of the Blind Pledge*
I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation
of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the programs and policies of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.

area where there may be service deliveries, so please listen and be
