Lyn Davies - Rotary Club of Terrigal

Lyn joined the Rotary Cub of Griffith Central, NSW in 1994. Later she joined the Rotary Club of Terrigal after relocating to the Central Coast. She has held many roles in Rotary at both Club and District levels. During her career as a teacher Lyn had many experiences working in classrooms from preschool to year 12. She worked with students in the areas of Learning Difficulties, Behaviour Disorders, Hearing Impairment (including Otitis Media), and taught TAFE Signed English. She was also a Special Education Consultant and a Primary School Principal. After attending an International Rotary Conference in New Orleans Lyn decided to raise funds for a PhD scholarship in Hearing Matters through ARH. This was her DG Partner Project in the 2013-14 Rotary year. She also joined the Rotary International Hearing RAG and Better Hearing Australia Central Coast Inc. These programs have provided wonderful opportunities to travel widely and engage in a variety of activities and projects - making friends around the world. The significance and importance of our hearing ability to humans is critical. It impacts on our communication, health and wellbeing. The social and economic impact of hearing loss is happening worldwide and fits with Environment, a major concern expressed by both WHO and Rotary.
