After our first wonderful day at the National Association of the Deaf Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, a lucky few were able to head to the Ohio River a few blocks away from the conference and board the Kentucky Spirit, a wonderful old-fashioned steamboat that had the bragging rights of being the oldest steamboat in Kentucky, for the Kentucky Association of the Deaf Steamboat Cruise. The line for the boat was huge!

Did you know that 55% of the delegates here at the 2012 NAD Conference are first-timers? This week has been an eye-opening experience for everybody, working with multiple perspectives and diverse backgrounds! Today, on Wednesday July 4th, the fourth session of the Council of Representatives was held. A proposal was carried to have an Open Forum for all NAD members this afternoon, to ensure individual members could provide further input on priority proposals.
