Carolyn Ball

Carolyn has been a member of RID since 1994. However, her involvement with the Deaf Community began in 1982 when she met a Deaf young man at a baseball game in Idaho Falls, Idaho. This chance of meeting at the baseball game influenced Carolyn’s career and life forever. After the baseball game and many years of college, she has been teaching interpreting in higher education for the past thirty years. Carolyn has served on several national boards and loves to be involved in the Deaf Community. She enjoys researching the history of interpreters and interpreter educators and how to become effective leaders.
