The NAD Board of Directors is coming to town! They will visit Capitol Hill
to educate legislators on the importance of H.R. 3101 on Thursday, April 15,
hold their quarterly meeting at the NAD headquarters in Silver Spring,
Maryland on Friday and Saturday, April 16-17, and take part in “An Evening
in Paris” – 2010 Spring Gala in North Bethesda, Maryland on Saturday, April
17. Members, supporters and the public are invited to join the board in
these three activities.
Yesterday, Leah Katz-Hernandez announced a national virtual NAD Legislative
Day on Thursday, April 15, in support of H.R. 3101 – the Twenty-first
Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2009. Members of the
NAD Board will be visiting key Congressional members and staff to explain
why this bill is so important to deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Your
calls, letters, faxes, and emails on the same day will help our efforts to
push for the passage of this important bill. Click here to view Leah’s vlog
(transcript also available) to learn how you can get involved.

On Friday, April 16 from 9 am until 5 pm and Saturday, April 17 from 9 am

headquarters to discuss the CEO search process, policy issues of importance,
progress on priorities, and preparations for the 50th Biennial NAD
Conference (see link below) which takes place July 6-10, 2010 in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Members and the public, as always, are welcome
to observe the board in action and interact with individual members during
breaks.
It’s that time of the year when we welcome spring cherry blossoms in the
Washington, DC area – come and mingle with the NAD Board of Directors,
friends and colleagues for “An Evening in Paris” – 2010 Spring Gala (see
link below) on Saturday, April 17 from 6 pm to 11 pm at the beautiful
Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Your participation will
benefit and sustain the NAD and its work on behalf of the American deaf
community. Sheena McFeely, as event coordinator, has wonderful plans for a
memorable celebration that includes cocktail hour and an elegant
three-course dinner, with spectacular entertainment, remarks by President
Bobbie Beth Scoggins, a special tribute to Anita B. Farb, brief live
auction, opportunity to be photographed and take prints home with you, and
much more. Table reservations are available for sponsors and supporters
alike. Monday, April 12 is the deadline for gala tickets and reservations.
Make plans to join us for a festive evening!
