As Ohio's oldest organization comprised of blind people, the National
Federation of the Blind of Ohio, works together to change what it means to
be blind. Our 73rd annual convention promises to inspire, empower and
celebrate our accomplishments. We provide encouragement, training and
support to families with blind children, blind veterans and people who are
losing vision later in life.

 

Here are a few convention highlights:

*	Network with blind people from all parts of the state. 
*	Encourage blind persons to expand their knowledge of resources. 
*	Attend Workshops designed to promote leadership, membership
building, and successful attitudes towards employment strategies. 
*	Attend the banquet that provides scholarships for blind college
students. 

Visit Exhibit Hall to explore the latest technology and low-vision products.
