members to get on board please do this now do not wait until the last day. I
am going to request the list of those who have completed this free
registration, So if we can not get in the top 10 it is only because our
membership did not do it's work. Please do not use your email address to do
this for others it will cause a problem for the records.


 


National Convention 


The National Federation of the Blind National Convention is the largest
gathering of blind people in the world.

It is the premier event for training, support, and information for the blind
community. It also serves as a governing body, democratically electing our
leadership  <https://www.nfb.org/about-us/leadership> and establishing each
year's organizational priorities.

Although the convention is open to all, our constitution
<https://www.nfb.org/about-us/history-and-governance/constitution>  states
that only members of the NFB have the right to participate in decision
making when it comes to organizational policy. If you are not already a
member, join the NFB <https://www.nfb.org/get-involved/join-us>  today.


2020 Dates 


Tuesday, July 14 through Saturday, July 18, 2020


2020 Location 


Considering the ongoing impact and wide-ranging effects of the COVID-19
pandemic, the 2020 National Convention will be held virtually for the first
time.

Join us as we celebrate NFB's eightieth anniversary and expand our circle of
participation, connecting blind Americans from coast to coast for what we
expect to be the largest gathering of blind people in history.

*The 2020 National Convention was originally scheduled to take place in
Houston, Texas at the Hilton Americas-Houston.


How to Participate


The agenda for the 2020 National Convention will feature most of the
elements our members know and love, with some new twists. There will be
multiple ways to participate in and interact with all convention events,
from video conferencing to phone access. Plus, as local conditions permit,
NFB affiliates will organize in-person gatherings in conjunction with
sessions being held at the national level to enhance the convention
experience.


Registration 


Members are requested and non-members are invited to register at no cost in
order to get access to exclusive offers, convention announcements, door
prizes, and other exciting content.

Register online today <https://www.nfb.org/registration>  for the 2020
National Convention.

Registration will close Monday, June 15, so please register before then.

*Operating the national convention virtually still costs money. While
registration is free, we welcome and encourage donations
<https://www.nfb.org/donate>  to support our ongoing work to protect the
rights of all blind Americans.

*If you previously registered for the 2020 National Convention, either
online or through the mail, you will be contacted about your registration

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 bac
