TAD board meeting will take place this coming Saturday at Holiday Inn’s El Tropicano in San Antonio from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM on July 26. TAD members and non-members are welcome to observe the meeting. Visitors are welcome to say a few words prior to the meeting. Board meetings are not the same as public forums, so visitors will have to wait until after the meeting ends to share any comments,concerns or ideas.
A copy of the agenda is added to this announcement after the two enclosed photos. Those two photos will show you why TAD is celebrating two awards and one pageant honor that were given at the 49th National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans during the week of July 6. TAD board director Gertie Galloway was given the Spirit of the NAD Award for her many contributions to the Deaf Community and for helping with the lst Annual National Leadership Training Conference that TAD, TSD and NAD hosted last April in Austin. TAD President Steve Baldwin received the Robert M. Greenmun Memorial Award for local leadership. NAD President Bobbie Beth Scoggins, also a resident of Austin, presented awards. Accepting the award for Baldwin were delegates John Mills and Larry Evans and member Betty Bounds.
Like icing on the cake for TAD, our Miss Deaf Texas Katherine Murch of Corpus Christi nearly won the Miss Deaf America crown by one notch over 20 other contestants. The other highlight for Miss Murch was winning the Platform Presentation Award during the pageant at New Orleans Marriott Hotel where 1600 people registered for the NAD Conference. Winner of the crown was Miss Deaf Maryland and should she resign or become ineligible, Miss Murch will step in to finish the reign for the next two years. Murch will attend the board meeting to give a short talk and TAD will present a surprise for her and those in attendance.
During the meeting there will be reports about the NAD Conference, TAD business matters, items, and issues, 2009 TAD Conference information in SA, and much more. See the attached agenda for more information. Minutes of the July 26 meeting will be posted within two weeks on the TAD website www.deaftexas.org.
TAD is a non-profit 501 (3) C organization that was established in 1886. There are about 650 members, including online E-newsletter subscribers. TAD is an advocacy state association with the National Association of the Deaf and many laws like ASL, Relay Texas, TSD 51% board make-up, commission for the deaf and other legislative mandates have benefited Deaf Texans. For those who wish to join TAD, there is a membership form at www.deaftexas.org.
