Predictable Outcomes of Multigenerational Concept ! Retirees, seniors, millennials and teenagers share knowledge, energy and talents.

Older people continue to be excited everyday about lifes endless possibilities,particularly in the role as relievers who guide and complement the youngsters skillsand abilities.

! They are engaged, enthused, and energized through the feeling of being wanted,important, and needed.

! They create an environment of warmth, cooperative spirit and positive expectations. ! The community is routinely exposed to expertise of successful deaf and hard of

hearing role models from a wide area of leadership and concerns. Younger people tap into their passion, stay true to their principles, implement the

right practices, and surround themselves with the right people. ! Teenagers are steered in appropriate direction for realization of their potential in the

role as future leaders. ! Retirees, seniors and millennials are motivated and challenged to pave the way for

teenagers to measure up to capacity, and even to outperform them.! Multigenerational relationship has many potential contributions to make toward NADs

national prominence as the official spokesperson for all deaf and hard of hearingAmericans.
