2020 convention Dates:
Tuesday, July 14 through Sunday, July 19, 2020
NFB Krafters Division participation date is Thursday July 16, from 1:00-5:00 p.m. Eastern.
During this time we will have our annual convention meeting where voting for our executive board will be held. Following this, mini classes of a variety of easy crafts will be taught by our members.
the board has decided to name the mini classes portion of our participation in the convention, “Cindy’s extravaganza.: Cindy has passed away, but so many of us will never forget her spring extravaganza. This was an afternoon of mini classes taught by our members on making quick and easy projects. We respectfully name the crafts portion of our convention participation in memory of Cindy.
Thank you Cindy!
If you would be interested in teaching a project for the extravaganza, please contact Tammy:

More information about the schedule for the classes will be available soon.
***Update***
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.
