Welcome New ABA Board Members!

Message from the Chair

  • ABA News

First, a warm welcome to new ABA Board members Annie Hayden, AuD, Brianna Kuzbyt, AuD, and Trent Westrick, AuD! Resounding thanks to Rebecca Lewis, AuD, PhD, Sandra Gabbard, PhD, and Todd Landsberg, AuD, for their time on the ABA Board. While these amazing volunteers are leaving the board, most are moving on to other positions within the Academy to continue their outstanding work on behalf of audiologists. I would like to personally extend heartfelt gratitude to Kristin Samuelson, AuD, for her work as chair of ABA this last year. Her leadership has been exceptional and has created a strong platform for ABA to move ahead, creating new and meaningful certificate and certification options for audiologists.

As the new chair of ABA, I see many opportunities ahead. In 2024, the Academy and ABA began working together to create a new board certification in vestibular audiology. This new program is underway with a Development Task Force creating the framework for this certification and an Oversight Committee to guide the implementation of the program. A proposal for a certificate in educational audiology is also under consideration.

I have been an audiologist for over 35 years, and I don’t think there has ever been a more challenging or exciting time to be an audiologist than right now. Please consider a certificate or certification from ABA, which allows you to stay up-to-date with the constant changes in audiology while demonstrating a commitment to your own professional excellence. I look forward to working with all of you. Thank you for this opportunity to lead the ABA.

Carrie Meyer, AuD
