Viable is continuing the release of video spotlights on U.S. deaf athletes as they prepare to showcase their skills on the world’s stage at the Taipei Deaflympics in September 2009.

Shana Lehmann, who will be competing in her third Deaflympics is featured in this clip.  Check back to see the completion of our Deaflympics series featuring Onyemachi Davis of the track and field team.

Let us know what you think of this clip.

Yesterday the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, one of our neighbors from a block away, held an evacuation drill. More than 1,000 employees crowded practically the entire block and spilled over in front of one of our buildings. Watch the video below for a joke from John Fine, one of our web developers – we’ll provide a transcript later so we don’t play spoiler. Update 5/27: We captioned the video!

Coincidentally, the NRC communications person who informed us of the evacuation drill last week knew ASL and we were able to chat. During the evacuation drill, the person who sat closest to our building entrance (the lady holding the green bag) didn’t realize the office building behind her was populated almost entirely by deaf people and was excited to fingerspell to us just so she could make the evacuation drill go by faster. If this keeps up, there’ll be no need for VRS!

Check out our latest video commercial, showcasing ViableVRS and the VPAD+. This commercial shows how you can take advantage of our products and services to do the things you need in everyday life.

We are always looking for ways to create opportunities within the deaf community, and we believe strongly in giving back.  One way we give back is by working with deaf-owned companies whenever possible, and we partnered with an independent deaf-owned company to produce this commercial. Enjoy, and be sure to come back later to see more videos and commercials produced by talented deaf companies and individuals!

Viable is proud to be an Official Partner and the Exclusive Telecommunications Provider of the Deaflympics. The 2009 Deaflympics is just four short months away and we’re getting excited for what is shaping to be one of the biggest Deaflympic Games ever. Because we are sponsoring U.S. deaf athletes, we decided to recognize them with a series of cool commercials showing the hard work they are putting in to prepare for the Games. We are proud of the results, especially because these commercials were produced by an all-deaf video and production team. Enjoy the footage of the athletes who will proudly wear our colors when they represent Team USA in Taipei, Taiwan this September.

Guard Jon Mowl, who will compete in men’s basketball, is featured in this clip. Check back to see the rest of our series featuring Onyemachi Davis of the track and field team and Shana Lehmann with women’s volleyball.
