Congratulations to Steve Boney who was awarded Honors of the Association from the Nebraska Speech Language Hearing Association. Steve was recognized for his many years of service to the profession, the state organization, the state board of examiners, the department, students, and to individuals with hearing loss.
Stacie Ray was awarded $75,950 from Women Investing in Nebraska for her proposal to give the gift of hearing through HearU Nebraska. Stacie’s proposal was selected after site visits were completed for nine finalists. The funds will be used to secure amplification devices for 30+ hearing impaired children (birth to age 18) in the state of Nebraska. HearU Nebraska’s mission is to provide hearing aids to children ages 0 to 18 with priority to newly identified children from 0 to 3 years of age. To date, HearU has provided 300 hearing aids to more than 200 children.
