State Leaders Network: Public Policy Focus at October Meeting

The Academy’s State Leaders Network (SLN) will hold its next quarterly meeting on October 17 at 7 pm ET. To broaden the reach of state-level advocacy efforts, and to strengthen communications across audiology groups, the Academy hosts these quarterly meetings, bringing together members from across the country. These meetings are an opportunity to discuss legislation, regulations, or other policy-related issues. We encourage all members to join us for this meeting on October 17—be sure to mark your calendars.

In the past, SLN meetings covered a wide range of topics, from public policy to organizational management, membership initiatives, and annual meeting planning. However, recognizing the need for more focused discussions, the Academy recently launched quarterly meetings specifically with the presidents of state audiology organizations. This meeting invites leaders from all state audiology organizations to exchange ideas and improve association management. Differentiating these meetings allows SLN meetings to concentrate on public policy and advocacy conversations.
