NEW PORT RICHEY – The Sertoma Speech & Hearing Foundation of Florida announced the appointment of Ian David as its new president and CEO.
David, who previously served as the foundation’s operations director, succeeds Debra Golinski, who retired in December after 24 years of service to the organization.
The transition marks a new chapter for Sertoma, which has served Florida families for over four decades.
David brings a unique depth of experience to the role, having advanced through the organization from an administrative assistant to its top leadership position over the last nine years.
“Ian’s journey to the CEO leadership role is a testament to his dedication to Sertoma’s mission,” said Samuel Boundy, chairman of the board. “He understands every facet of the organization, from the patient experience to the complexities of statewide program management. We are confident his vision will build upon the incredible legacy Debra Golinski has left behind.”
During his tenure as operations director (2022 to 2025), David was instrumental in the successful implementation of the Children’s Hearing Aid Program throughout Florida. Sertoma also expanded its partner network, significantly increasing access to audiology services for children and families statewide who might otherwise go without hearing care.
“Ensuring that every child and adult in Florida has access to the hearing care they need is my top priority,” David said. “I look forward to expanding our reach and continuing the successful programs that Debra championed for so long.”
During her 24-year tenure, Golinski was the driving force behind the organization’s growth, including securing a fleet of mobile audiology vans, expanding access to hearing screenings, introducing Sertoma’s own audiology clinic, and securing the contract to manage the Children’s Hearing Aid Program on behalf of the State of Florida.
Officials said her “heart and soul leadership” transformed the Sertoma into a premier resource for hearing health in Florida.
The Sertoma Speech & Hearing Foundation of Florida is located at 5211 U.S. 19, Suite 200, New Port Richey.
