The National Foundation for the Deaf (NFD) has appointed Louise Carroll in the role of General Manager.

Louise will be responsible for driving the NFD’s initiatives to reduce noise-induced hearing loss and raise awareness of the issues of deaf and hearing impaired New Zealanders.

Previously Louise worked within the public sector in non profit, government and corporate trustee organisations, most recently as Manager, Philanthropy Services at Guardian Trust New Zealand.

Her background in representing health consumers at Ministry level in both Australian and New Zealand Ministries of Health, along with developing Guardian Trust philanthropic granting processes, will add great value to the foundation.
