What a month it has been! We launched the Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Units and celebrated the SOUND of Hope Gala, raising crucial funds to expand our work. A special thank you to DK Metcalf for spotlighting SOUND Deaf Services in the My Cause My Cleats campaign. As we enter the season of giving, your support helps us touch 15,000 lives in 2024. Thank you for making a difference. Wishing you a joyous holiday season!
Itâs all about the future. The work Sound has been undertaking over the past year, the investments weâve made, the evolution of our business â itâs all about the future. Though our industry is rapidly changing, Sound keeps our vision on the future. The process requires equal parts enthusiasm and patience, flexibility and resolve and, importantly, a willingness to make difficult choices. Over the course of 2018, that is exactly what weâve done. Weâre building a great future for our clients, our team members, the larger community and we are doing it in so many ways.
In context of our history and our undying drive to best serve our community, 2017 was a pivotal year for Sound. Some of our changes were quite evident and pronounced while others were considerably more subtle, but no less significant. Without question, the changes in 2017 had purpose and intent, and have a singular focus to ensure that we can meet, and even exceed, our mission for years to come.
The year 2016 was outstanding for SMH. The past year saw the organization celebrating 50 years of innovation and service to the community, and it witnessed the departure of longtime CEO David Stone, PhD, to retirement. Last year also marked the road ahead as we ushered in an exciting new era with the appointment of Patrick C. Evans, SMHâs new President and Chief Executive Officer.
