The National Federation of the Blind of New York State will hold its sixty-second annual convention in Buffalo, NY, from October 19-21, 2018. Please join us as we strive to build a network of expertise and encouragement among blind New Yorkers and work together to make a positive difference in the lives of blind people across New York State.

Who Are We?

The NFB of NYS is an organization of blind and visually impaired New Yorkers who believe that, with the appropriate training, attitude, and opportunities, blind people can live the lives we want. NFB of NYS brings blind people together to support and learn from one another and to celebrate our achievements as we work together to improve the lives of the blind of New York.

Our Convention Agenda

It is our pleasure to welcome back, as our National Representative, Mr. Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. We will be privileged to hear him share information about the ongoing work of the Federation nationwide.

The theme of this year’s convention will be "Back to Basics". We’ll be looking at the main purposes of the Federation and revisiting our ultimate goals. We hope everyone will come away from convention feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to carry the Federation spirit back to each of our communities.

Location

This year’s convention will be held in Buffalo, at the Holiday Inn, 4600 Genesee Street, Cheektowaga, NY 14225. Please make all hotel reservations through the NFB of NYS office, by visiting www.nfbny.org/conventions/details and completing our online registration form, or by filling out the attached registration form and returning it to the affiliate office. Room rates this year are $99 per night, including doubles and quads.

The convention is shaping up to be a tremendous event. Come to Buffalo and share in the excitement. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

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 back.
