A Message From Our Executive Director, Cindy Dickeson
Connections.  We celebrate connections each day at CEID. The connection of a word, signed or spoken, to a concept. Connections to make sense of a new sound discovered through a hearing aid or cochlear implant. Connections to information, to support, to skills. 

In this newsletter we highlight a “CEID Connector”— a caring community member who after an initial introduction to CEID created more connections which led to years of support and opportunities. 

We recognize daily at CEID how fortunate we are to foster connections. A person’s intention to care and to make a connection releases a world of possibility.  

CEID Community Connector
Celebrating Bruce Willock

CEID has seen many families and patients receive services then become CEID advocates and champions. Sometimes, as in the case of Bruce Willock, the CEID supporter becomes a CEID service recipient. Bruce Willock, has been a CEID donor since 2012 both personally and as a member of the Berkeley Rotary Club. His support has resulted in numerous speaking engagements for CEID and multiple grant opportunities. 

After years of bringing his community connections to benefit CEID, this remarkable supporter became a CEID Audiology patient.
