Three New Members Named to the AG Bell Board of Directors

The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AG Bell) recently announced the appointment of three new members to its Board of Directors for the 2009-2012 term.

Patricia "Corrine" Altman, Holly Clark and Catharine McNally were appointed at the recent AG Bell Board of Directors meeting November 7-8, 2009, in Washington, D.C. Altman and Clark are parents of adult children who are deaf or hard of hearing who listen and talk. McNally most recently served as a junior counselor for AG Bell's Leadership Opportunities for Teens program, and has a profound hearing loss.

"These individuals represent the core of the AG Bell community in that they are tireless advocates for those who choose a listening and spoken language outcome," said AG Bell President John R. "Jay" Wyant. "Their contributions to the organization, its mission and its membership are immeasurable and they are outstanding representatives of the volunteer leadership."

Patricia “Corrine” Altman is co-president of the AG Bell Nevada Chapter. She and her husband, Arnie, own Rainbow Media Productions, Inc., a video production, photography and event coordination company in Las Vegas, Nev. She is the mother of five children; her eldest two, now adults, were born profoundly deaf and learned to listen and talk. Altman was instrumental in the passage of newborn hearing screening legislation in Nevada, which took effect in 2002. Since 2006, along with a team of volunteers, she has helped revive the AG Bell Nevada Chapter, which received the Chapter Education Award at the AG Bell 2008 biennial convention. With the guidance of John Tracy Clinic she started and runs a monthly support group for parents of children with hearing loss.
