How to Listen to the Live Stream of the 2018 NFB National Convention
Greetings All!
I am writing in because I have some exciting news to share regarding this year's national convention coverage.
As you know, over the past few years, there has been an online stream provided of the general sessions, banquet, and board of directors meeting for people to check out, especially those who aren't able to make the national convention.
There will be a stream this year, too, but there's an exciting announcement I'd like to share about this.
