But you don’t have to take my word for it, here are some comments from the Affiliated Chapters throughout Region V:
believe we all can agree that 2020 is the year
we do not want a replay of. Despite the many challenges and traumatic happenings all over the country, we can say that we have learned and can hopefully begin to make progress toward a better future for our communities and the communities we serve. Region V banded together and worked on how we can better serve the members that are financially impacted. Virtual conferences and workshops were open to all the Region V members. We supported learning new skills with different technical platforms to support the Deaf community’s access. Several ACs changed board members throughout the year. Resources were shared in getting our essential interpreters who work at the frontline in medical and in proximity within the community. 16
