2020 State of Ohio Convention Announcement

Now that the Holidays are behind us and the 2020 has rolled in. The first
order of business is to provide you with the location of the 2020 National
Federation of the Blind State of Ohio Convention.

First, thank you for working alongside of the Ohio Affiliate on important
activities of 2019. It has been a productive and successful year and I am
optimistic that 2020 will exceed our expectations. We are also wishing each
and every one a safe, happy and prosperous New Year!

As some of you know, our Affiliate president has been working on a location
for the 2020 State of Ohio Convention. This announcement is to inform you
that the location has been confirmed. 

Here is the announcement by the Ohio Affiliate President, Richard Payne.

It is my pleasure to provide you with information on our location for the
2020 NFBO State Convention. Although, it took some time to secure, I wanted
to ensure that all of our needs were met. It is important to me that every
member and those who wish to attend have an opportunity to come and partake
of all that the convention and the federation has to offer.   

Subsequently, the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio provides
encouragement and motivation to families with blind children and to people
who are losing vision or have become blind later in life. The Convention
will be an opportunity for participants to learn about accessible technology
from our Technology Fair, tips on living with blindness by attending
educational seminars and more.

The 2020 Annual Convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
(NFBOH) will be the largest gathering of blind people in the state.
Therefore, I encourage you to begin making preparations to be there the
weekend of November 6th, 7th and 8th of 2020.  Our 74th Convention will be
held at the Crowne Plaza Dayton Hotel; located at 33 E. Fifth Street,
Dayton, Ohio    45402. Room rates are $109.00 with a 13.50% tax per night,
which includes a hot buffet breakfast. The Crowne Plaza Dayton is in the
heart of downtown Dayton Ohio  and offers free Wi-Fi, televisions with
premium HD cable channels, and comfort to help you unwind at the end of your
busy day.   
, , 

As previously mentioned, researching and negotiating on    specific
accommodations for our group requirements, expectations and needs have been
challenging. I have met with countless hotels in Cincinnati, Columbus,
Toledo and Cleveland. However, the Crowne Plaza Dayton is the top choice.
They have the amenities and space to hold the 74th Annual State of Ohio
Convention. Please take a look at their features below!

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
