Programs on this page are focused on holidays or special occasions. NFB Convention Hot on the heels of the IAAIS conference in Dallas, Steve Cumming grabbed his digital recorder and ran off to the national convention of the National Federation of the Blind. The 10 programs, each exactly 58 minutes long, can be run as a weekly series, or as a marathon to cover Labor Day holes in your programming, or however you like. They are packaged in a way that's very flexible. You can find them on the IAAIS Program Share web page http://iaais.org/programshare/NTRB along with a document that details each program so you know what you're getting.
