While only reporting for a few years, Geanell has taken the initiative to put her degree in political science to use and attend NCRA’s Legislative Boot Camp 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008 in an effort to lobby for funding to address the need for broadcast captioners throughout the country to meet the demands of the federal Americans With Disabilities and Telecommunications Acts.
The training session is held annually at the nation's capitol in Washington, D.C. where participants actually meet with their state congressmen and senators and staff members.

Adams Reporters, LLC is committed to the education of new reporters and re-education of current reporters. Owner, Geanell Adams, RPR CSR CRI CP, has gone on to become a certified reporting instructor and is currently the lead instructor at Mississippi's only NCRA approved institution in Mississippi, Hinds Community College. She is also currently proctoring on-line and self-study at-home students to ensure structure and integrity in their educational process. By voluntarily recruiting for the profession, Adams Reporters, LLC believes it is continously increasing the awareness of the profession and recruiting members in an effort to answer questions in the face of shortage.

In June of 2003, Geanell participated in EduCaption’s Broadcast Captioning Training with reporters from across the country at the University of Mississippi sponsored in part by a grant through the United States Department of Labor.
The training included a week on intense personal training with three months of follow-up course study work.  The instructors for the training were Judy Brentano, Laurie Wanbaugh, and Jan Bounds.
