Why are you interested in serving on the Academy board?

The Academy is, and always has been, my audiology home! Like the Academy mission statement, I am also committed to advancing the science, practice, and accessibility of hearing and balance health care for our patients. I see the Academy as the natural and obvious mechanism for accomplishing these goals. Volunteering isn’t all altruism for me though; I gain a great deal of joy and satisfaction from the interactions with and connections to Academy members, volunteers, and staff. There is a wealth of talent in our organization: individuals with demonstrative passion and commitment for our profession. I would be honored to be able to serve in this capacity. There is so much to learn and accomplish!
