Was the NAD out of mind for allowing Kirsen Poston done the promotional video with her shabby t-shirt and distracted hairdo for the NAD's 50th Conference in Philadephia, PA? http://www.nad.org/blogs/kirstenposton/2010-nad-conference-events
Pretty shocked to see someone dressed that way for NAD's conference promo video. Everything is about image how we present ourselves.
How come didn't NAD furnish the decent wardrobe for Kirsten Poston to do the video presentation? If the NAD respond about not having enough money to cover the cost of approriate wardrobe. That is called the investment in image presentation for the good impression of the NAD.
George Verditz wouldn't caught dead in wearing the underwear shirt in his classic NAD film presentations on the preservance of sign language.
Kirsten Poston kept looking at something behind the camera. Couldn't Poston memorize the script and be presentable before the camera? Or find someone, who could be an effective and marketable sign presenter without appeared unprofessional and questionable.
Poston's video appearance caused more attention on her "what the hell" shirt and hairdo than the message itself.
