An Eastern Kentucky Universityphoto of Karen Dilka professor has been appointed as executive director for the Board of the Council on Education of the Deaf, a national coalition-based organization that provides teacher certification and evaluation of university professional preparation programs.

The board also accredits teacher preparation programs. It has accredited more than 40 higher education programs.
