Friday, June 7, 2019, the CCB Membership Committee invites first time attendees, along with anyone who may have missed a few CCB Conventions, to attend the First Timers Seminar. This seminar is an opportunity for you to learn about the CCB organization, to ask questions about convention activities, to learn about membership, and to form supportive connections by engaging with others in the CCB network. Come join the fun!

Then on Saturday, June 8, the Membership Committee is hosting a Membership Breakfast. The Breakfast Theme is "How to Strive to Thrive in a Sighted World." During the breakfast, members are encouraged to share one experience that highlights an accomplishment achieved despite the challenges of blindness or low vision, which includes just about anything! Prepare to share one of your memorable moments in the sun, using the 30 second elevator pitch model.

Finally, during the Saturday evening CCB Banquet, the Membership Committee will present the COTY Award to the Chapter or Affiliate that made a significant group effort to make a positive impact in the community.
