NAD Announces New Ambassador Format in 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is pleased to announce that the
\nNAD Miss Deaf America Ambassador Program (MDAAP) will unveil a new program
\nat the 2012 NAD Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. The 2012 NAD Miss Deaf
\nAmerica Competition, also the 40th anniversary of the event, will mark our
\nfarewell to the competition as a pageant for young women.<\/p>\n

The new program will not be a pageant. It will showcase young deaf and hard
\nof hearing female and male Americans who vie to become NAD ambassadors. The
\nYouth Strategy Team, appointed by the NAD Board of Directors, will lead the
\ncommunity study and development of the new and modern program. The details
\nof the new program will be announced at the 2012 NAD Conference and will
\ndebut at the 2014 NAD Conference.<\/p>\n

Held at every NAD Conference since 1972, the Miss Deaf America competition
\nfeatures talented, young female contestants who have won their state
\nassociation competitions. State contestants are judged across a broad
\nspectrum of categories including community service, perspectives on current
\nissues facing the deaf and hard of hearing community, and poise. The
\ncompetition winner, Miss Deaf America, serves as an ambassador to the NAD
\nand a role model for deaf and hard of hearing individuals across America.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach woman in the Miss Deaf America Ambassador Program was a role model for
\nyoung deaf and hard of hearing individuals. We thank the supporters of the
\nprogram for their years of dedication and look forward to celebrating their
\naccomplishments this summer,\u201d said NAD President Bobbie Beth Scoggins. “The
\nnew program will bring together young deaf and hard of hearing individuals
\nwho are committed to furthering the NAD mission. It is a significant step in
\nthe continued evolution of the program towards empowering tomorrow’s
\nleaders.”<\/p>\n

\nLeadership Programs, at http:\/\/www.nad.org\/contactus<\/a>.<\/p>\n
