  • Summary

  • Yvonne Neubert is a graduate of East Tennessee State University and has been a member of the National Federation of the Blind since 2012. In 2014, she completed the Partners in Policymaking state training. A trip to Washington, DC to take part in an NFB seminar sparked her involvement in legislative affairs. It was activism that prompted her to not only join the NFB but to become active in the organization. She now serves on the NFB’s board of directors, is President of the senior's division and is chair of Tennessee’s legislative committee. Yvonne is a leader and credits her team with successfully gaining support from a Tennessee U.S. congress member who became the first, in Tennessee, to co-sponsor a bill presented by the NFB. She has also volunteered at SPARK, a local tech training center for the disabled community and has worked as a broadcast journalist. Her hobbies are reading, songwriting and storytelling.

    Stacy sat down with Yvonne recently for an episode of the BEST Together podcast. Listen as they discuss the power of advocacy and activism, specifically within the community of the blind.
