I would think that you would want the following information:

Name;
Address;
city/State/ZIP Code
Phone: including Cell;
E-mail:
Indication if they are a braille reader;
Indication if they are already a member.

These are just some of the information that is collected through the 
Free Whitecane and Slate/Stylus program.

You might want to ask if this is their first NFB state convention as well.
