Cleveland,
 
Most of you know that I do my diligence to get in front of a matter when possible. Therefore, below is information on our National Federation of the Blind 2020 National Convention. The rates will be around $123 including taxes per night. However, please wait for the Braille Monitor info in December.
 
Read below and start preparing for the 2020 National Convention. We will discuss the Convention on Friday; so that everyone can start saving for the first night withdraw that will hold your room. I advise individuals to partner to defray that week’s cost.
 
The National Federation of the Blind National Convention is the largest gathering of blind people in the world.

It is the premier event for training, support, and information for the blind community. It also serves as a governing body, democratically electing our leadership and establishing each year's organizational priorities.

Although the convention is open to all, our constitution states that only members of the NFB have the right to participate in decision making when it comes to organizational policy. If you are not already a member, you can join the NFB today.

 

2020 Dates 

Tuesday, July 14 through Sunday, July 19, 2020*

 

*While the convention was originally planned for two weeks earlier, the Federation agreed to move its convention to accommodate activities in the city of Houston. We believe this change will further enhance the program, exhibits, and dynamic content provided at America's civil rights and resource convention of blind people and their families. More information regarding convention arrangements will be published in the December issue of the Braille Monitor.

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.
