We will be undertaking initiatives to increase membership, pass state legislation to end the payment of subminimum wages, engage parents and students, increase new members’ knowledge of the Federation and develop new leaders. We are going for a record attendance at this year‘s NFB national convention in Las Vegas and at our state convention in Olympia next November.

Bring new people into the organization. We need all of you and those you know.
