Board of Directors
The National Federation of the Blind Senior Division is a division of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), dedicated to empowering blind seniors and advocating for their rights and opportunities. The division's membership elects its officers and directors to two-year terms during the annual meeting, held at the NFB's national convention. The board meets at least quarterly to discuss critical issues, plan initiatives, and ensure the needs of blind seniors are addressed.
All officers and board members of the NFB Senior Division are blind and committed to promoting independence, equality, and inclusion for seniors living with blindness or visual impairments. These leaders play a vital role in the NFB’s efforts to provide resources, education, and support for blind individuals throughout the country.
