The Community Code of Kindness
(8/14/2024)

In 2022, seven national organizations gathered together in what was known as the 2022 FL3 Partnership Summit, to develop and build upon existing organizational partnerships and to create opportunities for systemic improvement through policy and promising practices discussions. These organizations were identified as organizations that provide direct family-to-family support, including Alexander Graham Bell Association, American Society for Deaf Children, Family Voices, Hands & Voices, Hearing First, National Cued Speech Association, and the National Center of Deaf-Blindness. The result of this meeting created action steps towards a project together, now known as The Community Code of Kindness. This presentation will share the process by which the group came together through consensus, and how other stakeholders can adopt and apply the commitments and agreements contained within.

Presenters: Janet DesGeorges, Cheri Dowling, and Gayla Guignard
