Professional Deaf Australians

Professional Deaf Australians [PDA] in partnership with Damian Barry of Deaf Answers, UK, will be running three workshops for Professional Deaf Australians, in October, 2010.

Damian Barry, the Director of Deaf Answers, comes with a long pedigree of D/deaf experience and management.

He was Chief Executive of Hearing Concern (a national charity for people with hearing loss), until he decided to change his career trajectory and start Deaf Answers. Damian has worked with the British Deaf Association, as Director for London and South East, the British Red Cross as Fundraising Manager, Friends for Young Deaf People as the Director of Operations and Development, as Disability Services Advisor with the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, and the Deaf Association of New Zealand as FYD Director.

Damian’s mission is to train and mentor Deaf People so that they can become masters of their own destiny”.

Damian is also an Associate with Deaf Works in the UK.

Workshop details can be found at our webzine Gone Fishing. Please email us here, for an enrollment and registration details.
