This year's public affairs theme is The Power of Voice. \n\n\nLinks to all live webinar events will be listed on the Public Affairs Conference schedule website.\n\n\nIt’s not always what you say\, but how you physica lly express what you feel\, that conveys what you are thinking. A great d eal of a person’s communication lies in body language and nonverbal commu nication. Sometimes cultural norms of body language in one culture are mi sinterpreted as disinterest\, disrespect or an invasion of another’s pers onal space. But in another culture\, those same physical stances are rega rded as standards. Some languages are based solely on nonverbal expressio n. For example\, ASL (American Sign Language) is a complete\, unique lang uage\, rich in visual-spatial expression. Increasingly\, new parents are using signing gestures with their babies to help bridge communications. G estures\, posture\, touch and eye contact all send strong messages. What can we learn from ASL to help us become better communicators? How do your expressions\, movements and nonverbal actions influence the way you are seen and heard? How do people’s expressive natures communicate who they a re as individuals\, as a group and as a culture? How can we mitigate bias and discrimination resulting from the nonverbal voice?
