We want to help you get registered for the 2021 National Federation of the
Blind Convention. Registration is free and really quite easy. Given that
the convention is virtual, you can participate in the convention activities
that work for   your schedule with no travel time and no expense.
Convention participation has never been easier.



You can register online using the instructions provided below by Virginia
Chapter Leadership Institute member Renee Valdez. You can request
assistance from our Virginia Help team by emailing:

help at nfbv.org

Simply provide us your name and phone number and someone will call you to
help you get registered.

The final day to Pre-register for the NFB NATIONAL CONVENTION is this
coming Monday, May 31, 2021!

NFB NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL BE HELD JULY 6, 2021 THROUGH JULY 10, 2021

1.      Go to the NFB website Convention landing page:

https://nfb.org/get-involved/national-convention

3.    That will take you to the Convention landing page where you will find
all the information you need about the Convention!  Scroll down to the
Registration heading.  You will see two links, the first will allow you to
register immediately online.  That's the one I did!  The second link will
take you to a PDF for that you can print and fill out and then send in.  I
recommend the first link--the online registration, since it is fast and
pretty simple!



4.    Clicking on the first link, it will take you the the actual
registration page.  Here's what you do now:



a.  You will be asked to read the NFB Code of Conduct.  To do that, click
on the link provided there.  It will open an new tab and display the Code
of Conduct.   When  you are done, you can just close that tab and you will
be back at the registration page.  Click the box that says you have read
and understand the Code of            Conduct.



b.  Fill in the boxes with your name, address and phone number.



c.  In the next section, Membership and Voting, you must be a member of the
NFB to be able to vote.  If you are a member, fill in your cell phone
number, since voting is done by text message.  Then mark both boxes under
your phone number.



d.  Next, you will have a couple of choices to make.

 --The first is asking if you would like to attend the Parents of Blind
Children Conference which is held during the National Convention.  If  you
do, just click                     the  box.

  --The second is asking if you would like to attend the Career Fair during
the Convention.  If youy do, click the box.

--The third is asking about any accommodations you might need,
Captions/CART, Spanish interpretation, or you can type in something else.



e.  The last item asks if you would like to make a donation to the NFB.  I
know any amount is appreciated.  If you can make a donation, simply type in
the amount, which opens a credit card payment section.  Type in your credit
card information and confirm your billing address.  If it is the same as
the one you used to  register,  then leave the box checked.



f.  Next, click on the white box that says "Review your registration"



g.  Look through the information you entered .  If you made a mistake,
simply click "go back" to fix the           error.  If everything is ok,
click "continue" at the bottom of the page.



h. The next page will say "THANK YOU FOR REGISTERING"  and you are done!
