blind adults in the commonwealth. We believe we have designed a valuable

most promising.

 


2021 National Federation of the Blind of Virginia State Convention
Highlights


 

*	Big Money Made Easy - Participate in this Saturday afternoon,
October 30, seminar to   learn the techniques used to manage your finances
and achieve solid results that will last a lifetime.
*	Looking for a little confidence boost in the workplace? Come hone
your skills in our leadership seminar on Saturday afternoon, October 30.
>From running engaging agendas to conflict resolution, we're serving up
interactive exercises that could help you be a dynamic force in your
professional field.
*	Networking: Dramatically multiply your contacts by joining the
largest meeting of blind people in the commonwealth. The NFB of Virginia
draws individuals from all walks of life including academia, consulting,
national security, rehabilitation, education, psychology, and many other
fields. The optimal time to mix and mingle will be Friday night, October 29,
and Saturday night, October 30, but seize any opportunity throughout the
week to identify and approach your next best personal and professional point
of contact.
*	Resolutions: If you feel there are barriers to leading an active and
full life within your job, community, or family where our collective
advocacy could help, consider submitting a resolution. We could potentially
partner on a campaign to address a problem that affects many blind
Virginians. We welcome your thoughts at resolutions at nfbv.org
<mailto:resolutions at nfbv.org> , and invite you to join us for the committee
meeting on the evening of Friday, October 29.

Wednesday, October 27 where you can hear from others, address agency
management at the public meeting, and hear of their latest initiatives.
