Deaf Link, Inc. (Honoree)
Deaf Link provides the Deaf and those hard of hearing that rely on American Sign Language (ASL) with the ability to carry on their business and personal lives with confidence. From a supervised communication center facility, the company supplies businesses, hospitals and government agencies with ASL interpreters via internet-based video conferencing, on a 24/7 “on demand” basis. Its vision is to complement onsite interpretation currently being utilized for the Deaf community with a reliable and easy to use technology-based alternative.
Today, Deaf Link uses its TANDBERG solution to facilitate accurate and cost effective communication between Deaf customers/patients/employees, a certified ASL interpreter and the business/government agency/healthcare facility.

Umeå University Hospital (Laureate)
The County of Västerbotten in northern Sweden stretches from the Norwegian border to the coast. This vast, rugged area, approximately the size of Denmark, is home to 255,000 people.
In 2003, hospitals in Umeå, Skellefteå and Lycksele were combined into one giant service area to ensure that all residents received the same level of care. Video plays an instrumental role in meeting that goal.
Navajo Nation (Laureate)
The Navajo Nation extends into the states of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, covering over 27,000 square miles of unparalleled beauty. Diné Bikéyah, or Navajoland, is larger than 10 of the 50 states in America and is the largest land area assigned primarily to a Native American jurisdiction within the United States. Today, the Navajo Nation is striving to sustain a viable economy for an ever increasing population that now surpasses 250,000.
It is the educational mission of the Navajo Nation to promote and foster lifelong learning for the Navajo People, and to protect the cultural integrity and sovereignty of the Navajo Nation. Video connects the Nation's chapter houses in order to accomplish that goal.
