Though the majority of members are blind or visually impaired, sighted persons who share the common goals of ACBT are welcome to join. Each individual chapter sets local chapter dues. Individuals who do not live near a local chapter may join as a member-at-large for $10. Another membership category for any individual, business, or organization (public, private, or civic), having a special interest in services for persons who are blind or visually impaired, is sustaining/supporting membership. Annual dues are a minimum of $50.00. Sustaining membership is a viable way for individuals, businesses, and organizations to demonstrate their support for the council and its mission. For more information about ACBT, please contact any state officer, director, or your nearest chapter, or visit www.acbtexas.org. Member benefits include receiving THE BRAILLE FORUM, the national publication of ACB, and the TEXAS STAR, the state newsletter of ACBT. THE BRAILLE FORUM is available in Braille, large print, on cassette, by e-mail, and on the ACB website (www.acb.org). The TEXAS STAR is available in large print, on cassette tape, and by e-mail on the ACBT listserv.
Another benefit of ACBT membership is eligibility to join the Associated Blind of Oklahoma/Texas Federal Credit Union, and to participate in its savings, credit, and insurance services. Credit union members regularly receive updated information by mail, through the TEXAS STAR, and at chapter meetings.
Please refer to the Local Chapter page for the nearest chapter or contact any state officer.
