Jenny Buechner hails from Madison, Wisconsin. She graduated from the Wisconsin School for the Deaf in 1998 and from Gallaudet University in 2002 with a degree in Social Work. Jenny currently works with Hamilton Relay as the Product Manager and oversees its Deaf Culture Training program for relay operators. Jenny served as the President of the Wisconsin Association of the Deaf (WAD) from 2009 through 2013, tripling its membership and greatly expanded its fiscal assets. As President, Jenny created several Public Service Announcement videos for the only domestic violence agency that serves deaf and hard of hearing individuals in Wisconsin. She continues to support WAD through fundraising and legislative committees. Since 2010, she has chaired the NAD State Association and Affiliates Committee, helping the NAD understand the needs of the state associations as well as providing support to state associations. The local deaf community is very important to Jenny and she finds time to help out with the Madison Association of the Deaf by volunteering her time with various activities and events hosted by the club. Jenny enjoys spending what remains of her free time with her 11 year old deaf Jack Russell Terrier, Jaxon.
