Legislative Leap: PFD’s Progress

Shane Feldman provided exceptional Board governance and strategic planning training for one week in the Philippine Federation of the Deaf (PFD) under the Discovering Deaf Worlds USAID Grant. The information that he provided was invaluable for all of our members. Most importantly, he conveyed it in a very clear manner through examples and visuals. This training was part of a dynamic learning experience that was critical to the development of long term plans that led to the successful passage of new legislation by the PFD.
