Información y Agenda en Español

Welcome to the fourth day of the 2021 National Federation of the Blind National Convention! Today’s agenda includes affiliate caucuses, the Presidential Report, and general sessions. More information, including ways to access and connect, can be found at https://nfb.org/convention.

Please note: all times are in Eastern Daylight Time.

State Affiliate Caucuses

11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.: Join your state affiliate caucus to meet or renew ties with your Federation friends and family, review this year’s resolutions, and learn more about the work of the Federation. Visit your affiliate’s website or contact your delegate, typically your state president, for exact times and connection details.

General Sessions & Presidential Report

General Sessions begin 2:00 p.m. with the Presidential Report and other exciting and informative speakers. The Presidential Report is always an important time to reflect on our work during the past year.

As a preview, President Riccobono’s remarks note, “While the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant social and economic dynamics have tested our movement, the record will show we remain stronger together as blind people.”
