The 124th WFD board meeting
Recently, the 124th WFD board meeting of the World Federation of the Deaf took place.
The WFD Board held its 124th Board meeting, and the 5th virtual WFD Board meeting in the past year. This meeting was an opportunity to discuss the progress of the staff's work, the review of the action plan and the implementation of KPIs, as well as ongoing human rights work.
Alongside WFD Board and staff, observers from the WFD's Regional Secretariats attended the meeting as well as the WFD Youth Section, which provided an activity report.
We hope to have the opportunity to return to in-person WFD Board meetings in 2021.
