We, your TSHA Political Action Committee (PAC), would like to say a HUGE thank you for stopping by our booth to "Show PAC Some Love" with your questions and inquiries, monetary donations, University Challenge enthusiasm, and participation in our silent auction. We'd also like to thank both to the universities that donated the amazing baskets and those who bid on the baskets.

A large number of you took part in expressing what you love about our professions. Here are a few of those heartfelt expressions:

"Working with children and helping them find their voice/words!"

"I love the joy it brings!"

“I love that the growing, the learning, the networking NEVER STOPS! I love speech-language pathology!!"

"I love collaborating with others in helping professions."

“I love human rights!"

"I love making a difference in so many families lives."

"I love those breakthrough moments with my patients."

"Every child and teen has a safe space to be themselves."

"I love helping families navigate complex medical care with their children."

"I love the power of connection."

"Making an impact on our patients and their families."

"I love the ability to be selfless, make connections with families and clients, and various cultures."

"I love mentoring others and learning from the experts in our field."

"I love language and literacy!"

"I love helping people feel confident in themselves."

"I love advocating for students in schools with a multilingual background."

"Advocating for neurodivergence"

"I love changing patients' outlook on feeding and making it enjoyable for them!" 

TSHA PAC is here to advocate for our professions and those we serve, in all of our various settings. We look forward to growing our committee with those of you who expressed a desire to volunteer.
