ASHA Committee of Ambassadors for Arkansas
The Committee of Ambassadors (CoA) is charged with acting as Ambassadors of ASHA by providing advocacy on and communication about the priorities of the Association to officials, constituents, peers, and the general public. We will be conducting advocacy events, meeting with legislative representatives, and using social media and other mediums to share information about ASHA’s work and priorities (if you were familiar with the previous ASHA Advisory Councils this is the committee that replaced those respective councils). There is representation from all U.S. states and territories from both audiology and speech-language pathology.
