Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has appointed two new members and reappointed one to the Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
“All Kansans deserve equal access to quality services,” Sebelius said. “This commission works to improve the state services available to those who are deaf or hard of hearing. I’m thankful for their work.”
Jack Cooper, Gardner, attended both the Kansas School for the Deaf and the Nebraska School for the Deaf prior to attending Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. He has served as the president emeritus for the Kansas Association for the Deaf and is currently a representative on the National Association of the Deaf Region II Board. He has been appointed to a three-year term.
Dennis Selznick, Overland Park, holds a bachelor of science in business administration from California State University. He is a product innovations manager for Sprint Nextel and serves as the assistant director of nationwide operations for the Lambda Sigma Pi Alumni Association. He has been appointed to a three-year term.
Also reappointed is James Deister, Salina to a three-year term.
The commission is charged with advocating for and facilitating equal access to quality, coordinated and comprehensive services that enhance the quality of life for Kansans who are deaf and hard of hearing.
