  Alice and Marsha:



  Would you please circulate the following to the NFB Deafblind division 
members?



  We are pleased that you will be joining us for the 2020 Convention of the 
National Federation of the Blind. Due to the size and complexity of this 
convention, as well as the need to appropriately plan for additional human 
and other resources, we are working on responding to requests for specific 
accommodations. We are committed to providing captioning for every general 
meeting and for those meetings attended by deafblind participants. If you 
plan to attend a seminar and would like to ensure that captioning is 
provided, please email jerniganinstitute at nfb.org ahead of time. Once the 
convention agenda has been published, we will need a list of the convention 
sessions you will be attending. You may also connect with the NFB Deafblind 
Division to learn more.



  Sincerely,



  Anil
