Our eighty-first convention is once again being held virtually, just as it was last summer. If there was one thing we learned during our first online convention, it is that a global pandemic can do little to dampen the spirit of the Federation. As you read through the agenda, it is clear there is no shortage of activity and excitement throughout our organization. Whether you are learning about the National Federation of the Blind for the first time or are a longtime member curious about the latest accessible technology, you will find something to meet your needs at this year’s convention.
