I got your message.

Richard Payne,  President
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back

> edu hello Richard,
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 _______________________________________________
