Join NFB of Nebraska as we pan for gold in 2019. There’s something for
everyone. Come together to celebrate, learn from and empower each other.
Connect with blind Nebraskans fully engaged in living full lives the way
they want. Connect with seniors, parents or students. Learn about
legislative endeavors and what is happening nationally in the NFB. We will
offer seminars on crafting, health and wellness, technology and more. There
will be meetings for students, seniors and parents. We have nuggets of gold
to offer everyone!



We are pleased to welcome our national representative Mr. Everette Bacon, a
member of the national board of directors and president of our NFB of Utah
affiliate. He also serves on the Disability Advisory Committee to the
Federal Communications Commission, chairs the Utah Library Advisory Board
and sits on the Utah Assistive Technology Council and the Library of
Congress’ National Library Service for the Blind’s Audio Equipment Advisory
Committee (Western Region).



Our 49th state convention will be jam packed with fun. Network with fellow
blind and visually impaired Nebraskans during our hospitality kick-off on
Thursday evening. Friday will be filled with seminars and sessions, and on
Friday evening, party with NFBN as members showcase various talents. Do you
sing, dance, tell jokes, read poetry? Come out and entertain us. Meet our
state board Saturday morning and then find a meeting perfect for you.
Saturday evening will be our annual banquet; Everette Bacon is our keynote
speaker and his speech is sure to send us home rich with Federation wisdom.
We will wrap up Sunday with more presentations, interactive activities and
take care of a little business as well.



Throughout convention, we will also hold our baked good auction. So, don’t
miss out on the 2019 convention.

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.
