The Georgia Association of the Deaf (GAD) and the Georgia Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (GaRID) are non-profit organizations that strive to support and promote the Deaf community and the profession of sign language interpreting in Georgia. Sign language interpreters endeavor to provide equal access to information for Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard of Hearing individuals. In order to be effective, it is vital that interpreters in our profession continually develop and maintain skills by interacting with the Deaf community and attending specialized trainings.  

For the first time in either organizations history the conference (July 24th-25th) will be a collaboration of both GAD and GaRID. We are working hard to offer an array of presenters and topics to meet as many needs as possible for our diverse populations. 

Your organization plays an important role in the Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard-of-Hearing Communities, as well as the interpreting community and understands the critical need for training and improved collaboration. Therefore, we ask you to consider being a sponsor for the 2021 GAD/GaRID Conference. If at this time your organization is not able to give a monetary donation we would still be grateful for any non-monetary donations. Please help support the mission and efforts of GAD and GaRID in any of the following levels:

If you would like a booth but are unable to be a gold level sponsor, a booth is $25.
