Laura Odato

Hello!

As the Senior Director of Communications since early 2026, I work with leadership, staff, and members across all departments on strategy and execution for external-facing marketing, publications, media outreach, website content, and social media. Given the important nature and broad scope of the Academy’s work, this strategy focuses on ensuring that Academy publications and priorities are viewed as highly valuable by both members and broader audiences.

My background in government, non-profit, and hearing health association roles has given me the proper tools to highlight the Academy’s focus on elevating the work audiologists do, and provide audiologists directly with essential resources for their practice and professional development.

I am happy to be working with the dedicated and knowledgeable staff and members of the Academy to make a positive impact on our members and their patients.
