CAROLINE: The NAD has been tremendously fortunate to have a remarkable team of talented, hard-working attorneys over the years. We will take a moment now to focus on some of the attorneys who have worked for the NAD since 1996, and what they’ve gone on to do since leaving. Many NAD lawyers have gone on to support deaf rights in federal agencies. For example, many lawyers joined the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after leaving the NAD. Karen Peltz Strauss, is the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Consumer and Government Affairs Bureau at the FCC. Former legal director Rosaline Crawford and former staff attorney Suzy Rosen are also at the FCC. The NAD is very proud to have these three people working hard to preserve deaf rights in TV captioning and relay services. Another former NAD attorney, Claudia Gordon, who also joined the federal government. She started at the NAD as a Skadden Fellow and now she is the Chief of Staff for the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs in the United States Department of Labor. She recently worked in the White House as the deputy liaison to the disability community. Thank you, Claudia, for that work! Four other NAD attorneys have gone on to start their own businesses as consultants or private attorneys. Barbara Raimondo works as a policy consultant for many organizations, including the Conference of Educators and Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf and the American Society for Deaf Children. Kelby Brick has started his own ADA consulting firm. [NOTE: He is now the Director for the Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Maryland.] Mary Vargas and Michael Stein, both former Skadden Fellows at the NAD, have started their own law firm “Stein and Vargas,” which specializes in deaf advocacy. In addition, Michael Stein has founded an organization called “Deaf We Can,” that promotes self-advocacy skills for the deaf and hard of hearing population in Chile. Other former NAD attorneys have gone into teaching. Sarah Geer left the NAD to pursue her dream of teaching English as a Second Language. She actually worked at the NAD for many years before becoming an ESL teacher. Laura Rovner, our first Equal Justice Works Fellow, now teaches a civil rights clinic at the University of Denver. She also runs a civil rights clinic there.

The NAD is deeply grateful to these individuals and their work in advancing the rights of deaf and hard of hearing individuals. We are also deeply grateful to the past employees of the National Center for Law and the Deaf run out of Gallaudet University until it closed in 1996.

Video fades to a gradient background with dark blue to light blue, a grey National Association of the Deaf (NAD) logo is centered.
