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 />
