Catherine Clark, a long-standing committee member of Hearing New Zealand's Board and until recently the Northern Regional Rep, has sadly passed away.
Catherine made a valued contribution to Hearing New Zealand through her many years of dedicated service. Her commitment, wisdom, and support helped strengthen the organisation and its mission to improve the lives of people with hearing loss.
On behalf of Hearing New Zealand, we extend our sincere condolences to Catherine's family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside her. She will be remembered with gratitude and respect for the lasting difference she made to our organisation and community.

We are very proud to advise Hearing New Zealand has been accepted to be a member of the World Hearing Forum.

The World Hearing Forum envisions a world in which no person experiences hearing loss due to preventable causes and those with hearing loss can achieve their full potential through rehabilitation, education and empowerment.

This is a valuable opportunity for us to join a worldwide network dedicated to raising awareness about hearing loss through advocacy and education, while promoting hearing protection and safe listening habits among people of all ages
