I am interested in taking part in the convention planning committee as well as the legislative committee. I am so excited to be a part of the NFB. I’m not interested in sharing any committee as I just went to get my feet wet. I am also interested in The Washington movement. What is the cost and when exactly is it etc. Thank you
