February Meeting Recap

The NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association held its monthly meeting on Tuesday February 12th. We were excited to see two new faces at the meeting! The meeting was attended by the two chapter leaders and three people who stutter. Drew opened the meeting by reading the welcoming words, which was followed by a round of introductions for the new attendees. We went over the history of the NSA and goals of chapter meetings. The topic of the evening was avoidance, so we discussed difficult speaking situations such as ordering in restaurants, talking on the phone, speaking up in classes, job interviews, and dating. A story shared by one attendee brought up the issue of stuttering and bilingualism. We also brainstormed about how to confront others who react to stuttering by laughing because of a personal experience encountered by one of the attendees. The meeting was wrapped up by Karrie reading the closing words. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday March 11th.

February Meeting Agenda

The chapter's next meeting will be held on Tuesday February 12th from 7-9pm in the Claxton Room on the first floor of the Elliott University Center on the campus of UNCG. We will be discussing perceptions of stuttering, and snacks will be provided. We hope to see many new faces!
