Organization Structure

Deaf Prison Ministries Network is governed primarily by a Board of Directors who are already involved in ministering to the Deaf in Prison. In addition to the Board of Directors, Deaf Prison Ministries Network also has an Executive Director who oversees the day-to-day operations of the ministry.

In addition to our board of directors and executive director, we maintain a list of key point-of-contact people all over the USA that we depend on for local referrals as we become aware of various needs in those areas. Key point-of-contact people are people who are already involved in or are interested in being involved in working with Deaf prisoners and former Deaf prisoners. If you are interested in being a key point-of-contact for your local area, please contact us for more information on how you can get involved.
