open (and a free option is available)

Dear Georgia Affiliate,



Please consider sharing this information about the upcoming NOPBC
Conference within the NFB Convention with your members, Convention
registrants, and any others.

This year, we offer five days of programming, including Kid Talk with NFB
President Riccobono, a Keynote speech by Gabe Cazares, concurrent sessions,
Family Game Night, Cane Walk, IEP sessions, and our Annual Meeting, where
we will hear from the 2020 NFB Distinguished Educator of Blind Children.

For our teens, Youth Track features great sessions led by successful blind
mentors and includes special sessions on accessible exploration with NASA
and an accessible Harry Potter Escape Room. Find out more at: NOPBC Youth
Track Agenda <https://nopbc.org/2020-virtual-youth-track>.

We have two registration options: limited and full. Limited registration is
completely free, and it includes access to all of our sessions and Youth
Track and Kid Track. The full registration fee is $10 per adult, free for
children, and it includes all of the above plus NOPBC membership, Cane
Walk, IEP resources, and mentoring.

Please consider sharing this information with your affiliate. We want to
reach as many teens as possible, and we want to help bring them and their
parents into our Federation family. Online registration will remain open
through the Convention at: NOPBC Conference Registration
<http://nopbc.org/2020-nopbc-conference-nfb-convention>.

Also, as I have noted in earlier correspondence, we look forward to sharing
with you all registration information for individuals in your affiliate.
Truly, we are so excited to work together to build our Federation!



Thank you, and please never hesitate to contact me for anything,

Carlton

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise 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.
