The Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing has been preparing for the 2022 legislative session. As part of the preparation, MNCDHH has met with community advocates and professionals, hosted focus groups, and sent out a statewide survey.

You are invited to join the Commission for a question and answer session to learn about our plans for the upcoming legislative session.

The session will be led by Alicia Lane-Outlaw, government relations director, with comments from Dr. Darlene Zangara, executive director, and Jessalyn Akerman-Frank, community and civic engagement director.

Choose one of two sessions. We are providing the same session twice so that you can choose the time that fits your schedule the best. Be sure to register in advance.
