OUR DREAM

WHAT IS LEFT TO DO?
As ambassador of Stichting Ushersyndroom Joyce de Ruiter, who suffers from Usher Syndrome herself, regularly brings the foundation to the attention of the media and gives lectures as a professional speaker and inspirer. With her story she inspires organisations to be resilient and flexible in times of change. In this way she holds up a mirror to the faces of hundreds of professionals, managers, entrepreneurs: fall or go on?

Ushie, our mascot with black sunglasses and headset, is hot! USHIE is the symbol of all people who cannot hear and see well because of Usher Syndrome. USHIE is gender-neutral, cool and very lively!
