• Anne joined the MCD team in July 2007.  She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the University of Southern Maine and a Master of Business Administration from Thomas College. Her more than 20 years of accounting experience includes governmental accounting with Maine Revenue Services, State of Maine Department of Audit and the Department of Health and Human Services, and public accounting with Runyon Kersteen Ouellette, specializing in non-profit accounting. Anne is very excited to be a part of the deaf community!  She is slowly learning ASL classes and looks forward to being able to sign fluently.  Outside of her life at MCD, she enjoys volunteering in her community, gardening, learning to play the fiddle and following the sports and activities of her teenage son, adult daughter, and grandson.  She and her husband, Glenn, live in Bowdoinham where they are renovating their 1880’s house and post and beam barn and live harmoniously with their cats, dog, ducks and chickens.

• Elissa began her journey into Deaf services in 1996, when she met a Deaf person who encouraged her to learn American Sign Language and Deaf Culture. She is now a fluent signer who is also a licensed Maine interpreter. In 2003 she enrolled in USM’s ASL/English Interpreting program, where she was inspired by the words of Meryl Troop to “become a signing professional something”, which led her to MCD. Elissa began her career at MCD in 2006 as the Telecommunications Equipment Program Manager, a position she held for nearly two years before becoming MCD’s Executive Director. Elissa has tinnitus (constant ringing sound in the ears) that has gotten increasingly worse over the years, and which has caused her to gradually become hard of hearing. The Deaf person she met in 1996 is still in her life; he is her husband, Jeff Smith.
