Welcome to New ABA Board Members!
We are delighted to welcome new members to the ABA Board for three-year terms: Jackie Clark, PhD, Jillian Giangaspro, AuD, and Carrie Meyer, AuD. Amyn Amlani, PhD, Jennifer Martin, AuD, and Cheryl Edwards, AuD, recently completed their terms on the Board, and we thank them for their years of dedication, expertise, and thoughtful contributions.
Sandra Gabbard, PhD, remains on the Board as the immediate past chair, and deserves acknowledgement for her steady stewardship as chair through continued COVID-19-related upheaval laying the groundwork for new initiatives and moving the Pediatric Audiology Specialty Certification (PASC) exam to computer delivery. Kristin Samuelson, AuD, has assumed the position of chair-elect. With this renewed team, we look forward to continued work to support new initiatives during the 2022–2023 year ahead.
