In the meantime, TAD Executive Board kept in touch with each other on a weekly basis via emails, VP and in person. Issues and problems are presented to TAD board that we quickly addressed in different ways. For example: When FCC sent out important policy decisions related to VRS, we exchanged our feedback with each other. At any rate, we expect to be busier in 2008, due to NLTC, the NAD Conference and other events as well as a myriad of activities.

TAD Board continues to justify their mission and goals as stated in our newsletter and website. Go to www.deaftexas.org for more information.

Happy New Year from TAD Board to each and every one of you!
