[NFBMI-Talk] Fwd: [nfb-indiana] NFB 2022 National Convention Zoom Events for Virtual Attendees

Fri Jun 17 02:00:45 UTC 2022

Yes, I know we get inundated with e-mails, especially during this part
of the year during Convention season.  But in recognition of the
reality that many find it cost-prohibitive or otherwise unworkable to
go to New Orleans for the 2022 NFB National Convention, please take
note of the below information which shows us how we can show up
electronically for the highlighting moments.

Please note, it is recommended you register in advance.  Registering
for the virtual Convention experience is free of charge, constituting
a separate process from registering for physical attendance at
National Convention and Banquet in New Orleans.
