On 19 September 2003, PEN-International Director DeCaro, Coordinator Clymer, and President Kim of the Korea National College for Rehabilitation and Welfare (KNCRW) visited with President Joo of the Korea Association of the Deaf. President Joo had visited the PEN-International display booth at the World Federation of the Deaf Congress in Montreal, Canada, in June so the meeting was a reunion of sorts.
It was determined that the KNCRW and PEN-International would work closely with the KAD as PEN-International is implemented in Korea.
