The Board of FRID is committed to maintaining a strong relationship with the Deaf Community. In an effort to strengthen this commitment, the Board is hosting an open dialogue session, in which we are inviting Certified Deaf Interpreters, Deaf Interpreters, and members of the Deaf Community to participate. We want to hear about the issues that are most important to you, how we can better serve the community, how we can better partner with the community, how we can create more spaces that are inviting for the Deaf community, and whatever else you would like to share or discuss!

RSVP is encouraged, but it is not necessary. All are welcome to attend, and FRID membership is not required. We look forward to having this dialogue with you!


FAQ

What is the dress code? 

The dress code is Black-tie! Tuxedos and floor-length gowns! Don’t be afraid to wear COLOR or PATTERN- this is a night OFF! 

Can I bring my partner who doesn’t know ASL? 

YES. Please bring a plus-one to celebrate the evening with you! We plan for the night to be accessible to all. There will be lots of interpreters around if needed ;). 

What are we celebrating? 

YOU! Our organization has hit a milestone- 50 years; that’s half a century! We could not have made it without our members, who are also our leadership, our committee chairs, the people who read the emails we send out, the people who’ve kept the wheels turning all these years! 

Can a non-FRID member buy tickets?

Only FRID members can purchase tickets as this is a members-only event; but we do not expect your Plus-One to be a FRID member. 

Will there be dancing? 

Yes! We will have a D.J. Dancing and eating are basically the entire agenda. 

Will there be CEUs? 

NO! This is not a workshop. While networking is bound to happen with a room full of niche professionals, this night is about FUN. See last question ;). 

What should I bring? 

I.D. will be needed for check-in and cash/card for purchasing any alcoholic drinks from the cash bars.



For any necessary accommodation requests, please email pdc@fridcentral.org at least 14 days before the start time of the event.

Tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable.

FRID is offering this event as an opportunity for safe, respectful learning and will not permit harassment, discrimination or horizontal violence based on another's comments, questions, schema, race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or any other protected class.
