Our year is off to a moving start with so many plans and talented volunteers in place to make it all happen!

It is the duty of the Nominations and Elections Committee to solicit nominations from the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA) membership and develop a slate of no more than two candidates for each office. On behalf of the committee, I am pleased to share our recommended slate for the 2024 nominations and elections cycle. 

The Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA) Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) meets twice annually. Responsibilities include reviewing the prior year’s audit, conferring with the TSHA Financial Advisor regarding the investment portfolio, reviewing the current year budget and the proposed budget for the next year, reviewing the investment policy, and making recommendations to the Executive Board.

We hope you'll join us this February in Fort Worth for the TSHA 2024 Convention!

The Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA) Convention is the association’s professional and academic extravaganza, designed to capture the attention of students, professionals, academics, citizens, and anyone else interested in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology, and educate them. The 68th TSHA Convention will be held February 22-24 in Fort Worth, and all students—undergraduate and graduate—should mark their calendars to attend Convention.
