The NASRA conference brings together state Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) administrators, TRS providers, stakeholders, as well as representatives from the federal government to connect with colleagues from around the country to discuss TRS policies, regulations, funding, outreach, and future technologies. This collaboration allows all in attendance to work for the advancement of equal access to telecommunications services for persons who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing, or speech disabled.
