Representation matters, but representation alone isn’t the same as having influence.

Beyond Awareness: Tokenism in Interpreter Leadership explores the difference between being invited to the table and having the power to help shape what happens there.

This leadership series examines how tokenism can appear in interpreter and Deaf community spaces, and how organizations can move beyond symbolic inclusion toward authentic leadership, shared decision-making, and meaningful participation.

Presented by DeAnna Swope, this course is available for $60.

Every registration means more than another person at the starting line.

When you participate in the All Hands 5K & Fun Run, you're also showing your support for the Deaf Action Center and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community we serve.

Come spend the morning with us, support our mission, and help us make this year's event a great one.
