[NFBMT] Presidential Releases

[JOY BRESLAUER]

Hello, Federation Family.

 

I have been remiss in getting out the Presidential release notices to
everyone. I don't have everyone's email, so I'll try to make sure they get
to as many people as possible.  Chapter presidents, some of whose emails I
do not have, please make sure your chapters are aware of these. 

 

For those who may not know, Presidential releases are monthly updates in
which our National President Mark A. Riccobono highlights the current
activities of the National Federation of the Blind. They are shared with
every chapter of the organization, and available in English, Spanish, on
YouTube, and as a text transcript in both languages.

 

You can subscribe to the English and Spanish versions of the presidential
release via your podcast client by searching for "National Federation of the
Blind."

 

March 2026

President Mark Riccobono encourages all to attend the national convention in
Austin, Texas, and emphasizes the importance of membership in setting the
organization's priorities and policies. He also announces a survey that will
be distributed to new members to gather feedback on the onboarding process.
He provides legislative updates following the Washington Seminar. He
concludes with Federation family news and his customary closing remarks.
