As Executive Director of Listen Foundation, Louanne brings more than two decades of nonprofit, fundraising, and executive management experience to the Foundation. She has worked with nonprofits of all sizes and is an experienced fundraising and board governance professional. She is a former Financial Advisor with Raymond James & Associates, and specializes in helping nonprofit organizations build their philanthropic capacity. Louanne and her wife moved from Tampa Bay to Denver in 2019, and fell in love with Colorado. Listen Foundation was incorporated in 1969 when a group of parents came together because they shared the common experience of raising a child with a hearing impairment. These parents recognized that many other parents and professionals were unaware of technological and therapeutic options that enable children with a hearing loss to listen, speak and become part of mainstream society and that many families that might want to pursue these options did not have the financial means to pay for these services. The initial program was developed by the late Doreen Pollack, an internationally recognized author and expert in the field of Listening and Spoken Language therapy (then called acoupedics) – an innovative approach that helps children to use their residual hearing and speaking potential to communicate with spoken language. Since then, Listen Foundation has served hundreds of families with Listening and Spoken Language therapy helping children in Colorado and beyond achieve a life of independence.
