A Message from Office for Regulatory Innovation and Assistance and the Office of Deaf and Hard of Hearing:
Good afternoon,
We want to extend our deepest gratitude for your overwhelming interest and enthusiasm for the upcoming Deafblind Small Business Workshop. We regret to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Deafblind Small Business Workshop. Unfortunately, the number of registrations has exceeded our initial expectations, and we are currently unable to secure an adequate number of interpreters to ensure equal access and participation for all attendees. Our commitment to inclusivity is of the upmost importance to us, and we want to ensure every participant has a meaningful experience.
As we work on rescheduling our workshop, we wanted to let you know we will still be handing out our Small Business Guide in English and Braille at the Hearing, Speech, and Deaf Center for those of you who would appreciate a physical copy of our guide to get you started on your small business journey. If you are interested, please reach out to
[email protected] if you would like us to send the small business guide via PDF instead.
?
Thank you again for your understanding, and we will keep you informed once a new date and time has been scheduled for the Deafblind Small Business Workshop.
Sincerely,
Hugo Nicolas, ORIA Small Business Consultant
Elizabeth Luttrell, ODHH Training and Program Manager
