[NFBNJ] 2021 NFB National Convention details and registration information

[Linda Melendez]

National Convention

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
<https://nfb.org/about-us/leadership>and establishing each year's
organizational priorities.

Although the convention is open to all, our constitution
<https://nfb.org/about-us/history-and-governance/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, join
the NFB today <https://nfb.org/get-involved/join-us>.
