I attended Sunday's HLAA Awards Breakfast and Ceremony sponsored by CapTel. The ceremony celebrated various HLAA members from around the country who have gone above and beyond their advocacy and outreach efforts. They honored scholarship recipients and gave out several awards for different achievements such as best state newsletter, best state website, organizing Walk4Hearing, community service, for being an outstanding young adult, and many more. Page 32 and 33 of the program includes a full list of the recipients. I sat with the young adults, where quite a few were recipients of scholarships and awards.
On a side note, I thought the bacon served at the ceremony was delicious, I would award it the best bacon I've had while in DC.
The only problem I had with the ceremony was that the loop system did not work properly. It was looping a conference that was happening next door. Unfortunately, we could not take advantage of the loop system during the ceremony. At least we had captions to help.
I was very inspired by everyone in the room. It makes me want to get involved more with my state HLAA chapter and to advocate more for the deaf and hard of hearing. There is so much more to be accomplished! I am especially interested in advocating for more hearing loop systems to be installed, after having such wonderful experiences with it at the HLAA Convention.
