Advocacy - The Nonspeaking Leadership Council's 10 members continued to participate in numerous facets of the spellerverse. Writing blogs, hosting I-ASC events, and attending conferences including Motormorphosis. The nonspeakers were the co-hosts at SpellX and presenters at Motormorphosis. Spellers & Allies Advocacy Network with over 50 members presented at several conferences and bi-monthly webinars telling the ?Truth about Nonspeakers.? They presented at Motormorphosis 2024 and worked on growing their network. February 2024 showcased our second annual free SpellX Concert with 1820+ registrants. Nonspeakers wrote poems and presentations in this one-of-a-kind salon format webinar that was simply earth shattering. Demonstrating once again that nonspeaking does not mean nonthinking.
