About the Event
Elaine Lenon (MA, NAD, NIC) is a leading advocate for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and has dedicated over 20 years of service to the South Florida community.

Passionate on decreasing the multiple barriers and lack of resources for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, she founded Community Outreach for the Deaf, Inc., a not for profit organization.
She successfully achieved certification with the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, earning two National Certifications that include the National Association for the Deaf (NAD), and the National Interpreter Certification for the Deaf (NIC). She is also a member of the Florida Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (FRID).…
