Organizational Friends

CCAC reaches out to any non-profit organization to “join hands” here  – we link to your organizational website – ask you to link to ours and welcome collaborations for captioning inclusion universally. Organization friends, in any related theme, are important allies in our shared interests for access and inclusion.

Contact the CCAC or simply send us the contact information as listed below for others. An “organizational friend” carries no cost nor obligation; while donations to support CCAC (all volunteers) is always welcome,  Let’s build communication bridges for the CCAC Mission and your goals also.

IMPORTANT – Each organizational friend group is asked to have an individual from their group also JOIN the CCAC.  CCAC is an individual member organization. Then the organization has participation in the CCAC’s active Participant Forum online (a google group) and can ask questions, share their own news, and work with CCAC on many Captioning Advocacy Projects. The CCAC Forum online is our working space – our virtual meeting place 24/7. Individuals use the “Join” pages (see above tabs). To also become a Friend, Organizations are asked to use a simple Email to CCAC with the following: Name of Org, Name of Contact Person, Email address, Web address, Physical address.

The CCAC supports captioning initiatives from others in established groups and from individuals who are members of the CCAC or not. CCAC writes letters of support for individual captioning needs, promotes new legislation, develops comments to the FCC, DOJ and other U.S. government entities, and joins efforts internationally. The CCAC initiates its own many and varied “CAPs” (Captioning Advocacy Projects) to advance the CCAC’s mission.

Thank you Organization Friends of the CCAC – please also join the CCAC as an individual member and ask your own membership to join the CCAC too! Select anyone from your group to see all membership discussions online, and participate in our projects and share your own news with all. Easy to join from this webpage, go to http://ccacaptioning.org/join/. We’re ready to talk about captioning inclusion.

CCAC invites the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), The A.G. Bell Association and others to join as “friends” also. All do good advocacy for so many years, for captioning inclusion also, among broader and wider goals. CCAC will highlight your link and information here with a small annual donation. CCACaptioning@gmail.com to discuss. 

Others who support the CCAC mission are welcome here – parents groups, educators, access organizations, non-profit business groups, etc.  Organizational membership is free and there is no obligation. Show your support for CCAC volunteer advocates for captioning inclusion wherever needed. 

Organization friends are strongly encouraged to select an individual to become a full CCAC member, still free also, and participate in the CCAC members – only forum online to keep up to date with active captioning advocacy among membership, and to add information from their organization when it fits.

Consider also becoming a Sponsor. There are several opportunities. Please contact the CCAC to join or for details about sponsorship.

And – looking for a Captioning Provider? any sort, media or live events, one time or continuing? Learn more with CCAC’s service called CaptionMatch.com – go to the website to register and for more information, http://captionmatch.com – just ask! We aim to educate, advocate, raise awareness in all ways we can, with your help. Cheers for Captioning, our Language.
