| NHCA Scholarship Foundation Seeks New Volunteer Leaders |
|
|
| We have a vacancy on the board of directors of the NHCA Scholarship Foundation and are looking for a volunteer to join us. The Scholarship Foundation provides travel and research support to graduate students focusing on applied studies in hearing loss prevention. Board members administer the awards and develop fundraising opportunities. This is an excellent opportunity to invest in the future leaders of our field. The work is important, but the workload is relatively light. If you are interested, please contact Ashley Montoya at [email protected]. |
