IDHHC would like to congratulate<br />

Board Director Don Monsour on the<br />

well-deserved honor of being recognized<br />

as one of Victoria’s <strong><strong>Vol</strong>unteer</strong> Champions.<br />

We celebrate Don’s over 45 years of service in the community and<br />

thank him for choosing IDHHC to share his talents and time in support<br />

of our work with the Deaf and hard of hearing community across<br />

Vancouver Island. As IDHHC’s Chair of the Board Governance<br />

Committee we benefit greatly from his many years of Board experience<br />

and his leadership and expertise in excellence in governance.<br />

As a nonprofit membership organization, the agency is governed and lead by volunteer<br />

Board Directors who bring their time and talents, passion and dedication to provide strategic<br />

direction and policy development to guide the work to deliver the mission and vision.<br />

IDHHC is grateful to all our volunteers including those who champion the Sound of Change Initiative,<br />

providing free refurbished hearing aids to low-income individuals. To date 750 new and 175 returning<br />

clients have received over 1,600 refurbished hearing aids, which have a retail value of over $4 million dollars.<br />

These hearing aids have provided profound positive impact to their quality of life.<br />

IDHHC cannot provide these services alone. We thank Don Monsour and ALL of the volunteers,<br />

who together with the staff team, deliver unique and personalized services in this community.<br />
