Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we have been able to host a series of enriching events and workshops that empower our members at the DHHBA 2024 Conference. These initiatives provide essential resources, foster professional growth, and build a strong sense of community among deaf and hard of hearing legal professionals. We hope you take some time to learn about one of our sponsors: the Georgia Advocacy Office! 

The Georgia Advocacy Office is the federally mandated protection and advocacy system for people with disabilities in Georgia.  GAO envisions a Georgia where all people have value, visibility, and voice; where even the most difficult and long-lasting challenges are addressed by ordinary citizens acting voluntarily on behalf of each other; and where the perception of disability is replaced by the recognition of ability.

We are thrilled to extend our deepest gratitude to our generous sponsors for their invaluable support of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Bar Association (DHHBA) 2024 Conference. Their commitment to inclusivity and accessibility has made a significant impact on our community, and we are immensely grateful for their partnership. We hope you take some time to learn about one of our sponsors: the Great Lakes ADA Center! 

The Great Lakes ADA Center’s mission is to increase awareness and knowledge with the ultimate goal of achieving voluntary compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is accomplished within targeted audiences through provision of customized training, expert assistance, and dissemination of information developed by various sources, including the federal agencies responsible for enforcement of the ADA. We are not an enforcement or regulatory agency, but a helpful resource supporting the ADA’s mission to “make it possible for everyone with a disability to live a life of freedom and equality.”
