[NFB_of_Georgia] Would you like to be a Sponsor and / or an Exhibitor at the NFBGA 2018 State Convention

[plewis at nfbga.org]

Welcoming all Sponsors an Exhibitors

The National Federation of the Blind of Georgia invites you to join us for
our annual State Convention, to be held October 5 - 7, 2018 at the Hilton
Garden Inn - Albany 101 South Front Street Albany, GA 31701. 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or our future. Every day we work to
raise expectations for blind people, because low expectations create
barriers between us and our dreams. Join us in raising expectations for
blind Georgians so we can live the lives we want! 

Every year, blind people from across Georgia gather at our state convention
to learn about key legislative issues impacting the blind community,
discover new programs and resources, experience new technology, and build
relationships with blind people from across the state. 

The National Federation of the Blind of Georgia is bringing together
professionals, employers and job seekers to address the critical need for
employment in the blind community by hosting our second annual job seminar
and job fair. We will also be discussing key legislative issues in Georgia,
including the Blind Parents Bill. Also featured are meetings for blind
seniors, blind students, blind merchants, and parents of blind children.

sponsor or exhibitor at our state convention this year.
