National Federation of the Blind 2023 National Convention

July 1 through July 6, 2023

Houston, Texas

#NFB23

 

The National Federation of the Blind is the transformative membership and
advocacy organization of blind people. Every day we raise the expectations
of blind  people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind
people and our dreams. Each year we come together for important discussions,
decisions, and information sharing.

 

As an attendee, take advantage of the opportunity to:

* Network with thousands of blind role models

* Connect with leaders in the field of blindness

* Attend presentations on a variety of empowering topics

* Learn about the latest in technology and innovation

* And more!

The convention is open to all. Important note: Our constitution states that
only members of the Federation have the right to participate in
decision-making when it comes to organizational policy. If you are not
already a member, please connect with your state affiliate
(https://nfb.org/about-us/state-affiliates). If you are interested in
joining the Arizona affiliate, please contact me at
nfb.az.president at gmail.com <mailto:nfb.az.president at gmail.com> .
