Communication Policy for ALL board meetings…

All board members are encouraged to participate in the language of THEIR choice – Spoken English or ASL.  No one will be forced to communicate in one or the other.  We provide interpreters for meetings so that ALL members can participate at their comfort level.   We understand that we have student members and Deaf members who are at varying communication levels and styles.  We will accommodate all levels of communication skill and model best practices of interpreting.
