About Diversity and Inclusion


The National Federation of the Blind celebrates and embraces diversity and full participation as core values in our mission to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind. We are committed to building and maintaining a nationwide organization with state affiliates and local chapters that is unified in its priorities and programs and is directed by the membership.  

*	Diversity focuses on the people in the organization and considers their race, creed, color, religion, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, marital status, age, genetic information, disability, or any other characteristic or intersectionality of characteristics. 
*	Inclusion focuses on the actual experiences members are having and whether they feel included and are able to participate in all areas of the organization.

If you have questions or concerns, please email  <https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=20230&qid=4953892> diversity at nfb.org or call 410-659-9314, Extension 2413.
