NVRC Policy Watch 2026
All of our happenings provide an opportunity for our community to come together and share with each other resources that we've found helpful. When a community gathers, an amazing thing happens: its members build each other up and help the whole network to get stronger. Join us, be strengthened, and strengthen others!
Join us for the inaugural NVRC Policy Watch, a new educational webinar series from the Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons (NVRC). This one-hour presentation is designed to help our community understand recent federal, Virginia, and Northern Virginia laws, policy changes, budget decisions, and government initiatives—and how they affect our everyday lives.
