[NFBNJ] Reminder: Important: 2026 National Federation of the Blind Convention Affiliate Caucus Meeting

[NFB of NJ President]

Greetings, Everyone,

Please join us for the annual National Federation of the Blind Convention
Affiliate Caucus Meeting.

During this meeting, we will discuss plans and updates related to the
National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey's upcoming Annual State
Convention:


*50th Anniversary State Convention; Live the Life You WantStronger
Together: 50 Years of Progress and Possibilities*

We will also discuss the proposed 2026 National Federation of the Blind
resolutions. The resolutions have not yet been released. Once they become
available, I will send an email containing the link. In the meantime, you
may check periodically by visiting:

Please accept my apologies for the timing of this meeting. Scheduling the
Affiliate Caucus Meeting during National Convention week is always a
difficult balancing act, as we must consider several important evening
events, including the Presidents and Treasurers Meeting, the Job Fair, and
other convention activities. Our goal is to select a meeting time that
allows as many members as possible to participate while minimizing
conflicts with these important events.

We will begin our caucus meeting with updates and news regarding the
National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey's 50th Anniversary State
Convention. This will provide members with an opportunity to learn about
convention planning, important deadlines, and other developments as we
prepare to celebrate this historic milestone for our Affiliate.

As your Delegate, I carefully consider the opinions, perspectives, and
concerns of all members. However, as President of the National Federation
of the Blind of New Jersey, I must ultimately vote according to my
conscience and what I believe is in the best interest of both our affiliate
and the National Federation of the Blind.

Lia Stone,First Vice President,will serve as Alternate Delegate. Should I
be unable to fulfill my responsibilities as Delegate for any reason, she
will serve in that capacity on behalf of our affiliate.
Please note that only current dues-paying members in good standing will be
recognized to participate in the discussion of resolutions and share their
thoughts, opinions, and perspectives during the caucus meeting.Meeting
