Nancy Holdren
Nancy Holdren, Director of Ga. Registry of Interpreter.
She was the first interpreter in the history of deaf Georgia to have
interpreted Governor Zell Miller's budget speech in January 1997. Her
participation helped legislators understand the perils of going without deaf
services. The session ended with no cuts in services providing for the deaf. Speaker of the House Tom Murphy was ultimately responsible for allowing access to the deaf for the '97 session. He also authorized $25,000 spent on interpretation alone for the deaf in the gallery and for various committees.
