Dear Affiliate Presidents and Legislative Directors:

 

We are pleased to announce the legislative issues for the 119th Congress, First Session. The three issues are: 

 

Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act

Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act

Blind Americans Return to Work Act

 

Also, hotel rooms are going fast! Don’t forget to reserve yours by using the booking link provided at nfb.org/Washington-seminar, or by calling the hotel directly at 877-834-3613 and providing our group code, NF5. Our room block will be held open until midnight on Tuesday, December 31, so don’t let the opportunity to book a room at our special rate pass you by!

 

We are also asking those attending the 2025 Washington Seminar to register for the event by using the registration link at nfb.org/Washington-seminar. Registration for the event is totally free, and we are simply using it as a way to better communicate with attendees and better serve our membership. 

 

Last but not least, we will be conducting several Zoom training sessions in the weeks leading up to the 2025 Washington Seminar, so we will announce the schedule for those sessions in the near future. 

 

As always, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing all of you in DC and starting a brand new Congress out on a strong foot for the issues that most affect the blind of America. 

 

Warm regards,

John
