Who Are the Leaders of the National Association of Guide Dog Users?
The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) is a strong and proud division of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). The NFB believes that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of the blind because low expectations are the barriers that stand between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds you back!
