</div>
Q. What is the 75 Days of Action Campaign?<br><br>
A. The 75 days of Action Campaign is an opportunity for our dedicated and
committed NFB leaders around the country to work in 75 days of action to
build 75 new NFB chapters and divisions, and to strengthen 75 of our
existing chapters and divisions that may not be so strong.<br><br>
<br><br>
Q. When does the 75 Days of Action Campaign begin?<br><br>
A. The 75 Days of Action Campaign begins on the second of September and
runs through the 16th of November. The sixteenth of November begins the
seventy-fifth year of the National Federation of the Blind.<br><br>
<br><br>
Q. How can I join the 75 Days of Action Campaign?<br><br>
A. You can become a chapter builder by e-mailing
<a href="mailto:75days@nfb.org">75days@nfb.org</a> and letting us know
that you are seriously interested in working on building a chapter in
your area or some town or city near you that may not have a NFB
chapter.<br><br>
<br><br>
Q. Do you have training materials or tools that can help me start
building or strengthening a chapter?<br>
A. The 75 Days of Action Committee will hold regular telephone conference
calls to provide training on the ways to effectively build chapters and
they will also provide some written material to help you get started. To
fit in with your busy schedules, these training sessions will be held
several times per week beginning in early August. Your commitment to the
campaign does not require you to be on multiple calls per week. The calls
should be viewed as a resource, a way to share information and celebrate
success.<br><br>
<br><br>
Q. Do I have a 75 Days of Action Committee regional coordinator that I
can turn to for advice and direction during the time I work on building a
chapter?<br><br>
A. Each member of the steering committee, which was appointed by the
National Federation of the Blind president, has responsibility to work
with a number of state affiliate presidents and members from those
specific states who are working on building chapters in their affiliate.
Ask your state president who your regional coordinator is or email
<a href="mailto:75days@nfb.org">75days@nfb.org</a>. The regional
coordinator will be available for tips and ideas. <br>
Q. What happens on the 76th day?<br>
<br>
A. After the 75 Days of Action Campaign, we will celebrate a milestone
accomplishment of building the Federation in a powerful manner. We
will maintain our momentum through the efforts of an enhanced Membership
Committee. The NFB Membership Committee has already begun to evolve
into a dynamic on-going effort to support our affiliates and
divisions. The tools and strategies developed and implemented
through the 75 Days of Action Campaign will be replicated, disseminated,
and improved by the members of this committee. Regular calls will
be held where affiliates, divisions, and chapters will be encouraged to
share their evolving strategies with each other.<br><br>
