Information
about the AGB biannual convention
The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing is a nonprofit membership organization that was established in
1890 to empower people who are deaf or hard of hearing to function
independently by promoting universal rights and optimal opportunities to
learn to use, maintain, and improve all aspects of their verbal
communications, including their abilities to speak, speechread, use
residual hearing, and process both spoken and written language.
To carry out the A.G. Bell objectives, we offer a wide variety of
member-oriented programs, publications, and financial aid programs.
While the A.G. Bell focuses on issues of national and international
scope, members can enrich their involvement by joining one of our three
Sections and one of our many Chapters and international affiliates.
June 2001 - AG Bell recently announced a mentoring program that links

their hearing loss. They're looking for both mentors and mentees. Here's
the press release, in the form of a letter from AG Bell Executive
Director Donna Sorkin.
