The Illinois Council of the Blind meets in convention
once each year. Here, activities of the Board of Directors and various
committees
are
reported and acted upon. Resolutions are adopted, and elections held.
Speakers and panel discussions deal with problems and subjects important
to the membership.
Seminars are organized to bring information to the blind and visually impaired
persons about leadership and effective organization, affiliate responsibility,
new services and employment opportunities, and coping with everyday problems
of blindness.
Throughout the year, affiliates meet locally to develop their own projects and
programs, and to carry out the policies and programs of the Illinois Council
of the Blind at the local level.
