AADB is a
national consumer advocacy organization which promotes better
opportunities and services for deaf-blind people. The next AADB convention
is scheduled for 2003 in San Jose, California. The main reason it will be
hosted in 2003, rather than 2002, is to give the deaf-blind an opportunity
to attend both AADB and NAD conferences in separate summers. The Chair of
the 2003 conference is Tom Sprinkle. Please contact AADB for additional
information.
