Town Hall Meeting

Thursday, December 3 from 7-9pm

Hello all:

Hearing Bridges formerly known as the League for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the EAR Foundation will be hosting a town hall meeting with the community on Thursday December 3rd at 7:00pm at Hearing Bridges.

The Board of Hearing Bridges will be the host of the meeting.

It has been brought to this Board’s attention that many of you would like an opportunity to communicate with the Board directly regarding the name change, and the Board would like to collect more information. Please understand that there will not be a direct resolution that will come from the meeting that evening, and it will allow the Board the opportunity to listen to your responses both in support and against the name change.

There will be some simple ground rules for the meeting to facilitate order:

1. Each person present will be given 3 minutes with a 1 minute warning to air their grievances, ask questions, or present to the board their opinions.
2. There will a platform for each person to present. In courtesy of each presenter we ask that all other persons remain seated.
3. The Board would like the opportunity to ask questions of each person that speaks in order to collect more information with a 2 minute time limit.
4. The process of recognizing each person will be announced that evening, and it will be fair and orderly. The goal is to give everyone the opportunity to speak.
5. Please no personal attacks and/or slanderous remarks and profanity.
6. This meeting will begin promptly at 7:00pm and end promptly at 9:00pm.

There will be interpreters present at this meeting.

We would love to have each and every one of you come to this meeting, so please do. This meeting will mean nothing without YOUR direct involvement. Please come, regardless of your stance it will be a great opportunity for the community and the Board to get to know each other.

Thanks,

Ron McCoy
Board Chair
