Local chapters and Divisions of NFB of Oregon
Local Chapters:
At-Large Chapter
At-Large Chapter
The state of Oregon is made up of many rural regions which poses unique challenges for organizing traditional NFB chapters. The At-Large Chapter is a chapter that meets via conference call instead of in person. Its purpose is NOT to replace in person chapter meetings, but rather to accommodate those who are either too far away to attend an in person chapter meeting, are unable to attend chapter meetings because of extenuating circumstances, or those who have schedule conflicts that prevent them from being a part of an in person chapter.
Capital City Chapter
Rose City Chapter
Linn-Benton Chapter
The cities of Albany and Corvallis plus surrounding communities of Oregon’s mid Willamette Valley are served by the Lin-Benton Chapter.
Southern Oregon Chapter

Divisions:
Diabetes Action Network
The Diabetes Action Network of Oregon, a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Oregon, is a support and information network for all diabetics, especially those who are blind or losing vision.
Many of our members have experienced ramifications of diabetes such as blindness, amputation, nerve damage, heart problems, kidney disease, etc. Others have experienced no chronic complications, but want to utilize our services, learn more about diabetes, and be part of a caring support group. In addition to reaching out to fellow diabetics who may be finding it difficult to cope with problems that accompany diabetes, we provide support and information to interested persons.
Oregon Association of Blind Students
The Oregon Association of Blind Students provides support, information, and encouragement to blind college and university students. OABS offers resources in issues such as testing, accessible textbooks and materials, overcoming negative attitudes about blindness from school personnel, developing new techniques of accomplishing laboratory or field assignments, and many other college experiences.
