Ann Rancourt comes from Cleveland where she was involved with the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center (CHSC), first as an intern and later, as a member of its associate board, New Partners of CHSC. Through New Partners, Ann managed and experienced her first peer-to-peer fundraising event, Cleveland Big Wheel Relay. From there, Ann was hooked. She joined the HLAA staff in May 2016. Her experiences in Cleveland allowed her to give back to the community and she knows firsthand how important services and programs are for people with hearing loss. She is thrilled to continue that passion with the Walk4Hearing.

In January 2017, Ann co-founded a social group, HLAA Young Professionals in Washington, D.C., to allow young professionals with hearing loss to connect. She is currently a staff liaison with HLAA Young Adults Hear (YAH) which focuses on topics of young adults with hearing loss navigating the transition to adulthood.

She is an avid hockey fan and having played at the college level, she continues to enjoy playing and officiating the game in local leagues. Ann currently resides in Bethesda, Maryland with her dog, Ruthie.
