Susie Stierer, Board Member

Susie is the consummate volunteer.  Over 10 years ago, Susie agreed to help with gardening needs for the Ohio Valley Voices (OVV) grounds. Once here, she fell in love with the friendly, talkative students and could not believe that these same children were deaf or hard of hearing. 

Susie wanted to be part of OVV's mission and joined the Board of Trustees. She has been instrumental in finding new sources of revenue for the Development Committee and is a creative force for OVV fundraising events. She is a very involved Committee Member of the LOVVE Amplified Fashion Show and hopes you all come see the show on November 3rd! Thank you, Susie, for your passion!

Student Spotlight
Meet Addison!

Addison is a 4 year old in OVV's Discovery Center preschool program.  Addison's parents enrolled her at OVV during the summer school program in 2015 when she was almost 3 years old.  During her time at OVV, Addison's language has grown tremendously, and she can often be heard telling stories, asking questions, and greeting her teachers and friends! 

Addison's mother, Amber says, "If I could give my daughter three things, it would be the confidence to always know her self worth, the strength to chase her dreams, and the ability to know how truly, deeply loved she is. 
Addison never ceases to amaze us! With the love, support, dedication, and commitment from all the staff at OVV, our daughter will be able to accomplish whatever dream she chooses to pursue. Her progress, maturity, and countless accomplishments are not only a testament to her strong personality and drive to succeed, but represent the devotion our angels at OVV exude every day. From the Stanley family to our OVV family...we will be forever indebted for providing clarity to our world of uncertainty."
