This exciting and educational event is to highlight and promote the mission

emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of
blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of
information which exist. Moreover, The NFB brings blind people together to
share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create
imaginative solutions. Becoming a member of the National Federation of the
Blind is easy to do! Membership in the NFB is rewarding because it opens up
a network of unparalleled support, friendship, and resources. Together with
love, hope, and determination, we help you transform your dreams into
reality".

to tap into the experiences, expertise and knowledge from a distinguish
panel of NFB officials; then attend this teleconference. We will hear from

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
