1) Is callVRS Deaf-owned (meaning is the CEO, founder, or owner Deaf)?
(No. I am a CODA) "Our goal is to be stand alone and certified and we are in the process to make that happen, we plan on being around for a long time, offering a choice to the deaf community from a true small vrs provider. We don't want to be the biggest, we just want to be the best!"
2) How many Deaf employees are working for the company and what percentage do they make up of your workforce?
"As we start we are a very small company and owned by me and my wife, both working interpreters who still process calls. The rest of our team are ICs who are also all interpreters. We have many Deaf ICs also that we work with for marketing, advisory guidance, and even interpreting."
3) Anything you would like to mention?
"(We are not in this for money). We pride ourselves in answering to the deaf community, and giving back with projects like the ASL story, the Signing Santa, even social events like the ASL Comedy tour. We do not have an official board because we have not reached that level yet, we are all working stiffs (big smile)."
Additionally, one of our email correspondences suggests that we should try to find out which VRS providers are certified. For those who aren't, who are they partnered with? Like President Obama said, "Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency." That means no one should cover up the truth or hide information. Let us share our information with each other. That will promote unity and peace.
Thank you, Keith Wann and Emilia Lorenti-Wann. Keep doing the great work with the Deaf communities.
