We are who we are because of a deaf parent. We are who we are when we celebrate our lives together. We are who we are because someone broke ground to define us and we will gather for the 25th time to celebrate that. Come home to the birthplace of the CODA conference, a place to celebrate our parent(s), a place to celebrate together…..Fremont, California.
Co–Chairs: Sheila Jacobs and Laureen Newman Feldhorn

“Attitude Adjustments that can Change Your Work Quotient”
· We will practice the art of taking our work professionally and not personally without losing our personal passion.
· We will work on building from our strengths and finding ways to work with other CODAs, SODAs, GODAs and NERDAs engendering mutual respect and using one anothers strengths to our advantage.
· We will discuss our identity and how that supports our work as well as the challenges it may bring.
· Ways to honor our heritage, yet be professional
· How to be a part of a community, yet be separate when necessary
