Introducing The NFB of MT Newsletter

Welcome to the NFB of Montana Newsletter. We are just getting started with organizing the publication.

You may also receive occasional articles and events from chapters and members when applicable.

NFB of MT Insight Podcast:

The background is filled with a variety of speech bubbles and question marks, representing a lively discussion or exchange of ideas. The color scheme is a mix of blues, oranges, and blacks, with a retro feel to the overall design.

A few members of the state affiliate have recently establish a new form of communication/outreach for the NFB of Montana. Blending news, legislation, local news, and their quick-witted humor, Jacob and Ed just released the first episode of the “InSight Podcast”, you can find it on Amazon, Apple Podcast, and Spotify. Please give it a listen if you haven’t already.
