RE: [HOHAudiologists] AudiologyNOW 2008 proposal

Sam,

 

Let me know if you want to use the wiki and I will send you the password again.  

 

There are at least two list members meeting with AAA in the fall regarding accommodations for 2008 meeting; perhaps a letter could go with them with all our signatures?

 

I’m still onboard.

 

Suzanne

PS:  I signed my office space lease two weeks ago J

Sam,

 

I think it's worth the effort to do a letter, and I will happily sign it, but cynical me thinks that because the convention is handled by a new group every year, there will still be struggles.  I believe that for this letter to have any teeth, it needs to also be shared with other professional organizations and the public media.

Anyone planning on going to the convention in North Carolina? Is there
anyone who'd like to consider leading the next discussion group?
Previous moderators would be happy to assist. I'd like to see some new
people moderate the next discussion.

Writing a formal letter with signatures to AAA is still heavily on my
mind, but I just don't really know where to begin. Is everyone still
interested in doing this? For the rest of you that aren't aware, there
was discussion at the 2007 discussion group at AAA that AAA's seemingly
inconsistent lack of accessibility for attendees with hearing loss is
not satisfactory and completely unacceptable, especially by a
membership organization of audiologists who should know better! A
Gallaudet professor attended our meeting and was quite upset and said
he would be the first to sign that letter and feels that many more
would be willing to sign. Submit your thoughts to the group.
