Dear Sponsors,

The Georgia Association of the Deaf (GAD), the Georgia Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (GaRID), and NAOBI-Atlanta are non-profit 501c3 organizations that strive to support and promote the need for accessibility and equity for the Deaf community in Georgia. Our advocacy work aims to provide equal access to information for Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing individuals to increase their quality of life. In order to be effective, it is vital for different stakeholders to play critical roles in the well-being of our community and continually develop relationships with an understanding of the need to improve the community’s quality of life and access to resources. The conference provided the physical space for our community to gather and exchange information to learn the latest ideas and strategies to help improve the quality of service our community receives.

GAD and GaRID decided to continue their partnership on hosting the conference for the second time and invited NAOBI-Atlanta to join us at the Georgia National Fairground and Agriculture in Perry, GA on July 7th and 8th. We are working hard to offer an array of presenters and topics to meet as many needs as possible for our diverse populations including but not limited to organizational leadership, personal finance, and professional development for teachers working with deaf and hard-of-hearing children. We will also have a large exhibit hall for the vendors for community members to interact with businesses, consultants, and government organizations.

Your organization plays an essential role in the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard-of-Hearing Communities, as well as the interpreting community, with the understanding of the critical need for training and improved collaboration. Therefore, we ask you to consider being a sponsor for the 2023 GAD/GaRID/NAOBI Conference.

Please help support the mission and efforts of GAD, GaRID, and NAOBI in any of the following levels:
