CONFERENCES

Conferences are held twice each year, spring and fall, and are hosted by one of the members. Because members are located throughout the United States, efforts are made to hold conferences in different locations each year (east, west, south, and central). Conferences are two days and cover topics such as key industry trends, changing business models, professional education relevant to the fields of speech and hearing, governance, management, fundraising and many others as requested by members. Our conferences typically include round table discussions on pertinent topics that allow members to share their knowledge, share their challenges, and consider how we can leverage the power of our collective group to impact our industry.

In addition, most of our conferences allow for 6-8 hours of ASHA approved CEUs based on the material presented. There is a short business meeting as well as ample time for networking and exchange of ideas during more casual evening events.
