FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Austin, TX-

 

Texas Association of the Deaf president Paul Rutowski announces that the TAD board has chosen Cindi Nagy of Dallas as a four-year board director.  Ms Nagy replaces Dr. Steve Baldwin who was reassigned as the board secretary for the next two years. Dr. Baldwin replaces Betty Bounds who resigned in order to focus on an increasing number of contracts as an educational consultant across the country.  President Rutowski expresses sincere appreciation for Ms. Bounds’ secretarial work since June 13, especially writing several letters, reports and minutes from the recent TAD board meeting on August 13 at a productive retreat that resulted in a two-year vision and numerous essential goals.

 

Ms. Nagy is a longtime para-educator at the Stonewall Jackson Elementary School with the Dallas Regional Day School Program for the Deaf.  At the Dallas Association of the Deaf she served in the capacity as social secretary, board director and secretary in the last few years.  It should be pointed out that Ms. Nagy volunteered several times to work the TAD booth with enthusiasm at the last two TSD homecomings and at other events. 

 

This is her first stint as a TAD officer and she is very excited about joining the illustrious TAD board.   Nagy comments excitedly, “I am looking forward to working with a great TAD team.”  With her children all grown up, Ms. Nagy hopes to obtain a B.A. within the next five years.  Her goal as a board director is to bring in more new members, especially young people and people of color. 

 

President Rutowski has this to say about the newest TAD board member: “I‘m excited to have her on board.  She will be a great contributor to our fellow Texans in the next 4 years of her term. I look forward to her energy, commitment and spirit of volunteerism. Not least, on behalf of the Board, I welcome her!”

 

 TAD was established in 1886 and still continues to safeguard the rights of deaf and hard of hearing Texans.  To keep that given goal alive, TAD recently held its 45th biennial conference in San Antonio.  For more information about TAD or view its conference photos, just go to our newly renovated website at www.deaftexas.org.

  1. Our son is Chris Kearney. We are happy to hear Cindi is now a TAD board member. Chris and Cindi go way back to when he was in elementary school at Stonewall Jackson in Dallas, TX. Who would have ever thought they would serve together on the TAD board! We are indeed proud parents! Brian and Peggy Kearney
