The Deaf community has pulled together to enact a comprehensive
\nservice organization called Project N.A.D.I.N.E. which stands for the
\nNational Advocates on Deafness to Inform, Network and Enrich. A
\nnot-for-profit foundation, Project N.A.D.I.N.E. was established in
\nearly 2008 by CEO and Co-founder Windell K. Smith Jr. and COO and
\nCo-founder Stephanie Green Nichols, both having deaf family members.
\nThe company is based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma but will have branches
\nand networks all across the country.<\/p>\n
The goal of Project N.A.D.I.N.E. is to provide comprehensive support
\nservices to the deaf and hard-of-hearing including: leadership
\ntraining, unbiased resources to parents with deaf children, increase
\nawareness of Deaf Culture and American Sign Language with the goal to
\nreduce misconceptions about deafness, provide information and training
\nabout the various aspects of deafness and the impact on communication,
\neducation and cultural identity, training for Sign Language
\nInterpreters, and to enact, develop and collaborate with programs, and
\ninitiatives which support the goals of the company.<\/p>\n
The first board of directors was selected, and an executive board was
\nvoted; Gary Davis, Chair, Anna Harman, Co-Chair, Rene Snelson and
\nAlene White, Secretaries, Stacy Stoops, Treasurer, Alan Logan, Chris
\nReagle, Christy McDonald, Lisa Mathes, Natalie Ludwig and Rene Sites.
\nThe majority of the board is deaf with a ratio of eleven to two, which
\nmatches the overall theme of the organization; to be a service company
\nto the deaf by the deaf.<\/p>\n
When asked what impact Project N.A.D.I.N.E. would have on the deaf
\ncommunity CEO and Co-founder Windell K. Smith Jr. said \u201cWe
\nanticipate Project N.A.D.I.N.E. will become an epicenter for the deaf,
\nby the deaf. The founders, board and volunteers do this because of a
\npersonal attachment we each have to this beautiful community. To bring
\npositive change to the silent world, and to the interpreters who
\nartistically take spoken language and turn it into a hand painted ASL
\npicture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashley Cavallaro brings her expertise to Project N.A.D.I.N.E. as the
\nnew Director of Outreach and Community Relations. Ashley has already
\nbegun working on innovated ways of generating income and awareness to
\nProject N.A.D.I.N.E. which will rely heavily on public donations, and
\nfundraisers.<\/p>\n
