STRONGER TOGETHER: RAISING OUR COMMUNITY’S VOICE

Saturday, March 23, 2024
Start time 10:00 am
Green River Community College and Online via Zoom

RSVPs for in-person participation and luncheon now closed

The HLAA-WA Board of Trustees invites to join us in celebrating our community’s accomplishments, congratulating award winners, and planning how we can do more to help people with hearing loss across Washington State to live their best lives.

We’re looking forward to a robust conversation with our Legislative Impact Award recipient Rep. Tina Orwall, about current and upcoming legislative priorities for hearing-friendly laws. This is a terrific opportunity to share your thoughts and wish list with our greatest legislative advocate. Whether you’re with us in person or via Zoom, you can ask Rep. Orwall questions and provide input.

If you RSVP’d to join us in person, we’ll welcome you with coffee and tea, and you’ll enjoy a delicious salad buffet lunch in between the annual meeting and the open board meeting. At lunch, you can connect with old and new friends, meet our HLAA-Washington Trustees, and help us plan for the future.

Whether joining inperson or online, you are also invited to participate in the open board meeting following lunch. You can help shape HLAA-WA to better serve our state’s hearing loss community. And, if you’re interested in volunteering, this is a great time to find out more.

This event will be fully hearing-accessible, with ASL interpreters and captions both in-person and online, and the room will have a hearing loop.
