HLAA-FL Board of Trustees
Volunteer officers elected by Florida HLAA members lead the state association. They set priorities, support chapters and represent Floridians with hearing loss.
The Board of Trustees governs The Hearing Loss Association of Florida, Inc. Officers are HLAA members who volunteer their time. The board meets quarterly on Zoom with captions, and holds an annual meeting where members elect officers.

Board meetings
Board meetings are open to Florida HLAA members and chapter leaders. Agendas typically cover the president's and treasurer's reports, chapter updates, the Florida Coordinating Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, upcoming Zoom meetings and statewide projects.
Meeting dates for the current year are announced in the newsletter and on the Florida events calendar. Contact us if you would like to attend or add an item to the agenda.

Serve on the board or a committee
Board candidates must be HLAA members, preferably active in a Florida chapter. Nominations are reviewed by the nominating committee before the annual meeting, and members vote by ballot.
You do not have to be a trustee to help. Committees for bylaws, scholarship, chapter coordination and advocacy welcome volunteers, and committee work is the usual path to a board seat.
Common questions
Who is on the HLAA-FL board?
The current officers are Tanya B. Williams, President; Roseanne Boyle, Treasurer; and Lisa Johnston, Secretary. All are volunteers and HLAA members. Board members are elected at the annual meeting by Florida HLAA members.
When does the board meet?
The board meets quarterly on Zoom with live captions, plus an annual meeting where officers are elected. Dates are set a few weeks ahead and posted on the events calendar and in HLAA-FL email updates. Members and chapter leaders are welcome to attend.
How do I contact a board member?
Use the contact form or email info@hla-fl.org and your message will be passed to the right officer. For privacy, we do not publish trustees' personal phone numbers or home addresses. Mail for the organization goes to the address on the contact page.
How do I join the board?
Be an HLAA member, get involved with a Florida chapter or an HLAA-FL committee, and submit the board application. The nominating committee reviews applications before the annual meeting. Serving on a committee first is the best way to learn how the association works.
Bring your experience to the board
We need trustees from every part of Florida, especially people with lived experience of hearing loss and skills in outreach, finance or communications.
