SUMMARY:Fostering Joy Forum Presents - Rooted in Joy: Identity\, Access\, and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:04/21/26\n1:00pm – 2:00pm (MT) \nWhat does joy look like in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) experience? Too often\, conversations focus on challenges\, barriers\, or systems.

Hosted by Hands & Voices\, this conversation celebrates\nidentity\, connection\, growth\, and belonging. Through personal stories and\nshared reflections\, this session will highlight everyday moments that make the\nD/HH journey meaningful and vibrant. Whether you are a chapter leader\, family\nmember\, professional\, or community partner\, you are invited to listen\, learn\,\nand reflect on how we can intentionally foster joy—in our programs\, in our\nleadership\, and in our relationships… Because joy is not an\nafterthought. It’s foundational. \nRegister here https://handsandvoices.org/registrations/fostering-joy-reg.html

SUMMARY:H&V/FL3 Leadership Webinar: Brave Conversations: Turning Conflict into Connection
DESCRIPTION:04/23/26\n11:00am MDT – 12:00pm MDT \nLeaders who support families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing\n(DHH) children often find themselves balancing mission-driven passion with\ncomplex interpersonal dynamics. Whether navigating difficult conversations with\nboard members or staff\, addressing tensions with partner organizations\, or\nmanaging challenges within volunteer-driven environments\, these moments can\nfeel high-stakes—and deeply personal. \nThis webinar is designed for professionals and parent\nleaders working across agencies\, educational systems\, and nonprofits who want\nto approach these situations with greater clarity\, confidence\, and intention.\nParticipants will explore practical strategies for leading courageous\nconversations\, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries\, and responding to\nconflict in ways that preserve relationships while staying grounded in\norganizational values and family-centered practices. \nGrounded in the unique context of DHH family support\, this\nsession emphasizes relationship-centered leadership and actionable tools\nparticipants can immediately apply in their work. Attendees will leave with\nrenewed confidence and a practical framework for turning challenging\nconversations into opportunities for growth\, alignment\, and stronger\ncollaboration. \nRegister https://handsandvoices.org/registrations/l2l-fl3/

SUMMARY:H&V Reads: A Leadership Book Club
DESCRIPTION:H&V Reads: A Leadership Book Club \nDeaf Tips: Twelve lessons from the Deaf world to improve your communication in your personal\, social\, and professional life\nby Dr. Bruno Paul Kahne \nNovember 12\, 2026 @ 1:00 – 2:00 PM Mountain Time\nRegistration opens July 17th \nH&V Facilitators: Laura Gramer (WA H&V)\nDeaf people are often seen as deficient because they can’t hear and frequently can’t talk. But Deaf communication is often faster and more precise than Hearing communication. In this book Deaf people look at the way Hearing people desperately try to connect with one another and share with the reader all the tips and tricks they use to communicate more effectively. As the world moves away from discrimination and narrow-mindedness\, it is time to recognize the real experts in communication\, and to learn from them. \nRegistration opens July 17th\nhttps://handsandvoices.org/registrations/book-club/bookclub-reg-page.html
