An Interpreted Meeting

An Interpreted Meeting

During a staff meeting in the composing room, superintendent Brian Svendsen addressed a group of assembled employees in spoken English. In the background stands John Dolota, night shift foreman, and Paul Poteat. Standing on a chair for visibility, Jan DeLap, a Deaf employee relay interprets.

This meeting, likely taking place during the winter holiday party, discussed the forthcoming Mega Employment issue. As the speaker addressed the group, an interpreter, Dianna Markel, signed to Jan DeLap. DeLap then interpreted the message for the crowd.
