This Convention will be the largest gathering of blind people in the state
that will offer blind individuals with the vision beyond vision; and an
opportunity to learn about accessible technology at our Tech Fair, and about
living with blindness, by attending many educational seminars. Also, as
Ohio's oldest organization comprised of blind people, working together to
change what it means to be blind, the 2020 Convention will inspire, empower
and celebrate our accomplishments. The NFB of Ohio also provides
encouragement, training and support to families with blind children, and to
veterans and people who are losing vision or have become blind later in
life!
  
Here are a few convention highlights:
* Network with blind people from all parts of the country.
* Encourage blind persons to expand their knowledge of resources.
* Attend Workshops designed to promote leadership, membership building, and
successful attitudes towards employment strategies.
* Attend the banquet that provides scholarships for blind college students.
* Visit Exhibit Hall to explore the latest technology and low-vision
products. Exhibitors will be open to shoppers and information gatherers on
Sat. November 7,2020 from noon to 4:30 PM.

"The vision beyond vision.

Thus, the NFB was founded on the guiding principles that blind people have
an inalienable right to independence, that blind people have equal capacity,
and that only blind people themselves can legitimately speak for the blind
community. These principles have continually permeated the membership and
structure of our ever-growing organization.

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
