As the mother of a child with hearing loss and the wife of a CODA, I can speak first hand to the important role BridgesDHH serves in our community.  I have been involved with BridgesDHH for over ten years and have seen the tremendous impacts we have made in expanding access for the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing through our programs and services.  When I first joined the Board in 2012, I could not have envisioned the growth we have successfully undertaken.  It’s been inspiring to see the visions we outlined in the strategic plans become reality.  That happens because we have a great leadership team, a supportive board, and an engaged community.  With those strong foundations in place, our future plans continue to take shape.  As we approach our centennial in just a few years, we have much to celebrate and look forward to!
