A ropes course is a challenging outdoor personal
development and team building activity which usually consists of high
and/or low elements. Low elements take place on the ground
or only a few feet above the ground. High elements are usually
constructed in trees or made of utility poles and require a belay
for safety. Ropes courses foster learning, teamwork, and teach
people how to work together.
We hope you will join us for this fantastic opportunity.
Deaf Staff and other volunteers who are Deaf or signers will be present

Division on Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing has a new Director
MDCR Press release: The Michigan
Department of Civil Rights (MDCR)
today announced that Anne Urasky
has been hired as Director of the Division on Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of
Hearing (DODDBHH), which is housed
within the Michigan Department of
Civil Rights. She will assume her duties on Monday, March 30, 2015.
As DODDBHH Director, Urasky will be
responsible for directing and coordinating all work of the division, including monitoring activities related to the Deaf Persons' Interpreters Act and ensuring that the division appropriately evaluates and investigates any alleged violations. Urasky
will work in close collaboration with the DODDBHH Advisory
Council and all external partners, and serve as liaison between DODDBHH and Michiganders who are deaf, deafblind
and hard of hearing. She also will be engaged in strengthening the division's connection with ASL interpreters, schools
offering interpreter programs and schools educating students
who are deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing.
"The Michigan Department of Civil Rights is fortunate to have
Anne Urasky at the helm of the division," said MDCR Director
Matt Wesaw. "Anne's experience and deep understanding of
the issues facing individuals who are deaf, deafblind and hard
of hearing will help us ensure that we are doing our best to
serve the needs of the deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing
persons who call Michigan home."
Urasky brings extensive knowledge of disability civil rights,
history and legislation to the DODDBHH Director position.
Most recently she served Chief Executive Officer of the Deaf
and Hard of Hearing Advocacy Resource Center (DHHARC)
in Las Vegas, Nevada. In that role, Urasky managed all operations of two statewide offices, supervised a staff of 10 working
on behalf of consumers with disabilities, and advocated on
their behalf with local, state and national agencies and service
providers. She also provided technical assistance and recommendations on proposed modifications to disability policies
and procedures.
Prior to her promotion to CEO, Urasky served in a variety of
capacities at DHHARC, including Chief Operating Officer,
Deputy Director, Southern Nevada Office Supervisor and
Case Management Specialist/Legal Advocate.
Earlier in her career, Urasky served as an English tutor for
students with disabilities in Chicago, teaching comprehension
and the fundamentals of grammar to help them develop selfconfidence and effective communication. She also provided
her students with an understanding of their legal rights in education and employment.
Urasky earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She also attended
Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Auburn Hills, earning 57
credits before deciding to pursue other goals.
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights Division of Deaf,
DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing is dedicated to helping improve
the lives of one million Michigan citizens who are deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing. Together our mission is to affirm the
indisputable right of every person who is deaf, deafblind and
hard of hearing to secure effective communication.
DODDBHH receives input from a 13-member Advisory Council appointed by the Governor.
