“Sign Olympics” with Brianna Beck and Alex Bono

Back by popular demand! All participants will “compete” with other teams to be the first or the best team to complete all of the stations. Each station will allow opportunity for improving skills in an individual and a team setting. Each team will be able to demonstrate appropriate classifier usage, facial expressions, body language, story-telling skills, signing skills, and teamwork. Judges will compare the skills of individuals and teams to help them improve their abilities and go for the GOLD! This is a combined activity for all levels and all attendees. (CEUs Pending )

"Sunday Morning Worship" (optional)

Join this optional Christian message with Deaf leader, ****, as he leads in reflection, gratitude, and prayer. (No CEUs Offered)

“Deaf Community Panel” with various Deaf Professionals.

In this workshop we will have discussions led by a team of Deaf and hearing moderators. We will discuss, from the panelist's perspective, what is expected from both the hearing interpreters and Deaf consumers during a job. The moderators will present various scenarios to the panel, and they will discuss how to handle the situation appropriately from their perspective. Also, what should or could be done differently and if any corrective action should be taken. (CEUs Pending)
