2011 AADB National Symposium

April 12, 2011

Hear ye! Hear ye! AADB is very pleased to announce that the 28th 2011 AADB National Symposium, “The Future is in Our Hands”, will be held on June 19th to 23rd, 2011 at Drawbridge Inn in Ft. Mitchell, KY, just across the river from Cincinnati, OH. There will be a formal training for support service providers (SSPs) for one and a half days before the symposium starts. The symposium will be chock-full of activities for deaf-blind participants: workshops, exhibits, networking opportunities, special interest group meetings, and more! Please watch for updates in future AADB Today e-newsletters when symposium information is made available on our website in the coming months.

Special thanks to AADB's ad-hoc committee members for their help to find the Drawbridge Inn for our next symposium. (Ad-hoc committee members are Mark Gasaway, Chair, Dan Arabie, Anindya (Bapin) Bhattacharyya, Jeffrey Bohrman, Jill Gaus, Mary Hale, Timothy Jackson, Lynn Jansen, Maricar Marquez, Paul Molloy, and Randy Pope.)

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

We know you are eager to get the news about when and where the AADB Symposium will be. Jamie Pope, Executive Director, is still negotiating the symposium site contract. There are a couple of issues that need to be agreed on before the contract is finalized. As soon as everything is in order with the contract, we will announce far and wide where the symposium will take place. Please sit tight! Announcement coming soon!
