The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is the Maryland state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind. We are changing what it means to be blind in Maryland! Find a local chapter or division. The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland 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.

Everyone is invited to attend the NFB of Maryland Board of Directors meeting on Sunday, December 8, 2024 to plan for 2025.

We plan to meet virtually via Zoom.

The meeting will begin at 2:00.
