[Ohio-Talk] Washington Seminar

[Richard Payne]

The Washington Seminar is right around the corner and if you wish to attend
as part of the Ohio delegation send me a note off list before December
first.

Understand that everyone who request to attend may not be selected and I
will let you know soon after you send your email.


At Washington Seminar, our members convene to learn about and advocate for
legislative initiatives that will improve the lives of blind Americans.
 Approximately three legislative initiatives are chosen for priority
attention each year. These initiatives, which form the Washington Seminar
priorities, are based on the official positions of the NFB adopted at the
national convention and can address concerns related to civil rights,
educational programs and services, rehabilitation of the blind for
competitive employment, the operation of vending facilities by blind persons
on public property, specialized library services for the blind, the
organization and funding of federal programs, Social Security Disability and
Supplemental Security Income programs, and other timely topics.
The first Washington Seminar took place in 1973. Today, more than five
hundred people from the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico typically attend.
Dates and Location
Monday, February 3 through Thursday, February 6, 2025

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
