ACBT Membership Dues
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 – usually $10-15 per year. Individuals who do not live near a local chapter may join as a member-at-large for $10.00. Sustaining membership is available for any individual, business, or organization (public, private, or civic), having a special interest in services for persons who are blind or visually impaired. Annual donation is 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 check the Chapters and Special Affiliates page for information about your nearest chapter.
