LORIANN HARNISH

LOriAnn Harnish, DIRECTOR (2024-2026)

As a servant leader, my calling is to be an advocate for the American Disabilities Act.  In particular, being a voice for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.  I became Hard of Hearing as a young girl after an illness and high fever.  My loss of hearing has never ever stopped or limited me from fulfilling personal and career goals.  My primary goal is to support the ongoing advancement of innovation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.  Increasing the availability and accessibility of communication tools increases true efficiency, comprehension, plus clear valuable results.  As a Director of the Global Alliance I will bring leadership excellence and strategic management expertise, plus personal firsthand experience as a Hard of Hearing individual.
