Our Board

Thanks to our board’s mission and vision, we just keep getting better! It is always a challenge for the State Coordinators for the Deaf (SCDs) in our 8 states to plan and implement the conference when it is their turn to host. Support varies but the SCDs are dedicated and work very hard to make each conference successful. Other SCDs share their experiences and try to help educate the new SCDs/hosting SCDs.
