[NFBofSC] NFB National Convention

[Steve & Shannon Cook]

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

Although the convention is open to all, our constitution
<https://www.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, you can join the NFB <https://www.nfb.org/get-involved/join-us>
today.


2020 Dates 


Tuesday, July 14 through Sunday, July 19, 2020*

*While the convention was originally planned for two weeks earlier, the
Federation agreed to move its convention to accommodate activities in the
city of Houston. We believe this change will further enhance the program,
exhibits, and dynamic content provided at America's civil rights and
resource convention of blind people and their families. More information
regarding convention arrangements will be published in the December issue of
the Braille Monitor
<https://www.nfb.org/resources/publications-and-media/braille-monitor> .
