Melissa: 
Hi! I'm Melissa.
This video shares updates of the activities of the Board and the NAD since June.
The Board had its formal meetings virtually in July and October.
Our meetings focused on planning the NAD Leadership Training Conference (NLTC)
and our next Biennial Conference this summer, in 2022.
We've had anti-racism training as part of our priority, Dismantle Racism in the Deaf Community.
Our learning continues.
I was excited to share our virtual meeting with the public through livestreaming on Facebook.
This livestreaming allows the public to watch how
the Board conducts its meetings, how we reach certain decisions,
and how we share different perspectives with each other.
I hope you had the opportunity to observe and learn how we do our meetings.
We will continue to provide public viewing of our virtual Board meetings.
Next, NLTC during the third week of September was a huge success, thanks to everyone who attended!
We thank our ten sponsors for making this possible.
We had ten workshops and we thank the presenters and panelists for participating in these workshops.
We had three plenaries and share gratitude towards our plenary presenters and panelists as well.
We learned from each other during the virtual NLTC event through chat, audience participation, and Q and A's.
For future workshops, we will have to see whether we'll offer them virtually or in-person.
And my final topic, as some of you know,
the NAD has five priorities as voted on by the Council of Representatives (COR) delegates --
hard to believe it's been a year since then!
I'll share our priority updates next month, watch out for that.
Thank you for watching!]
