By: Rollis Fontenot III What do President Obama, Governor Crist (FL), and Governor Schwarzenegger all have in common? They were interpreted by someone from her firm. A large part of starting a successful business is to be acutely aware of where there is a need, and then responding by filling the need with our product or service. There are many of examples of this in the marketplace; Campbell, owner of Florida-based Accessible Communication for the Deaf (ACD), said “I decided to open my own Sign Language Interpreter Referral Agency after seeing the need in the industry to have good, qualified sign language interpreters that offer the highest quality interpreting service.” She also shared that “Deaf is not just a loss of hearing. It is a culture. This is why the ‘D’ in deaf is capitalized. You have to be committed to serving the needs of the community” Since opening in 2003, Campbell’s company has received several accolades and letters of recommendation from Miami-Dade County’s (FL) Office of ADA Coordination and County Auditorium, among others. On this past Friday, ACD was awarded a new contract with the Center for Independent Living in Broward County FL after them seeing one of her interpreters in action.
