About CAD
CAD was formed for greater effectiveness in securing and promoting the best interests of the deaf in the state of Connecticut; for mutual and legal assistance and encouragement in bettering their intellectual, industrial, and social condition and for the enjoyment of socialization through a biennial conference and other activities such as workshops.

The delegate and alternate delegate as appointed by the Board of Directors attend the National Association of the Deaf conference every two even years and Region I Conference every other two odd years.
The standing committees who are appointed by the Board of Directors are Education (C.L.E.R.C.), Legislation, Membership, Publicity, Auditors, Deaf Awareness Week, Miss Deaf Connecticut Pageant and others like entertainment, fundraising, or any purpose.
