The Kenneth Jernigan Committee understands 

that thinking about your first convention 

might be daunting, or perhaps there 

might be many gaps in what you think you should expect, but we are here for
you. As President Riccobono announced at the May Presidential Release Live, 

we are launching the 2021 Convention Concierge Service for first time
convention attendees. 

Connect with someone who can help break the ice, 

tap into our network, 

and answer your questions about all things "national convention."

what state you are joining us from,

when matching you with mentors

life goals, 

if you are a guide dog user, 

perhaps a parent of a blind child, 

if you are a student, 

what are your hobbies, 

the types of individuals you would like to meet,
