Dear Nebraska Federation Family,

 

Convention is only one week away-are you ready? Whether this is your first
or fiftieth national convention, we're thrilled that you'll be part of the
85th Annual National Federation of the Blind Convention in New Orleans!

 

Here are a few important reminders as you prepare for the week:

 

Nebraska Caucus
. Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2025
. Time: 9:30 PM - 10:30 PM
. Location: Galerie 4 - second floor, River Tower side

Please plan to attend and bring your banquet ticket to the caucus. We'll be
coordinating seating for banquet, and this will ensure Nebraskans can sit
together.

 

Nebraska to Marshal Opening Session
Nebraska has been asked to serve as marshals for the Opening General Session
on Friday, July 11.

. Arrival Time: 8:15 AM
. Location: Grand Ballroom foyer

Let's make Nebraska proud! We'll be spreading out to help attendees find the
doors to general session. This is an important responsibility, especially
for the opening day, and we want to show our Federation spirit through
excellent hospitality and teamwork.

 

Virtual Attendees - We're Glad You'll Be Tuning In!
We know some of our Nebraska members will be attending virtually, and we're
so glad you'll be joining us online! We hope to hear your name called for
one of the fabulous virtual door prizes.
