Welcome new ABA board members!
We are delighted to welcome these new ABA Board members for three-year terms: Joseph Dansie, AuD, Todd Landsberg, AuD, and Kristin Samuelson, AuD. Jennifer Drohosky, AuD, and Anna Hartge (public member) recently completed their terms on the board, and we thank them for their years of dedication, expertise, and thoughtful contributions.
Cheryl Edwards, AuD, remains on the board as immediate past chair, and deserves acknowledgment for her steady stewardship as chair through continued COVID-19-related upheaval, as well as laying the groundwork for new initiatives and moving the PASC exam to computer delivery. Rebecca Lewis, AuD, PhD, has assumed the position of chair-elect.
