The Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC) is hosting their 6th annual Deaf Awareness Day this Saturday, April 27, 2019. Public admission begins at 10 AM. 

MNCDHH has a booth again this year and we are excited to see you! Here is what you can do at MNCDHH's booth:

  • Practice meeting with your legislator.
  • Sit down with either a board or staff member to discuss a large system barrier that you experience as well as your ideas for solutions.
  • Learn about the advocacy work that is being done.

In addition, Michele Isham (Board Chair) and Rebecca Thomas (At-Large Member, member of the Executive Director Search Committee) will present onstage from 12:30-1:00 p.m. Be sure to attend! Michele and Becky will cover:

  • The MNCDHH board application and appointment process.
  • The search for the next MNCDHH Executive Director.

If you are attending but have not pre-registered to attend Deaf Awareness Day (it is free), you should do so. It will save you from waiting in line. Here is the DAD registration link
