My Nonprofit Reviews

HLAA Diablo Valley Chapter President Ann Thomas is a great educator who shares her expertise not only with chapter members but also with leaders from other HLAA Chapters. I am President of another HLAA Chapter. When I need a presentation for an affinity group, I contact Ann. She has a collection of original slide presentations she shares and saves me from having to reinvent the wheel. The presentations are excellent and well received by the audiences I have used them with. In addition, I can brainstorm problems with Ann because of her technical knowledge of hearing loss equipment as well as her expertise of living with hearing loss. Moreover, Ann is an asset to our national organization. At our 2023 convention in New Orleans Ann received an award for her handbook "Get in the Hearing Loop. How to Successfully Advocate for Hearing Loops. A Step-by-Step Guide." Ann has participated in educational webinars for chapter leaders and is a valuable contributor to many in the hearing loss community. Thank you Ann for everything you do to improve the world of communication for people with hearing loss.
