NCSHLA is at the forefront of issues affecting speech, language and audiology professionals in North Carolina and works hard to influence the governmental policy-setting and decision-making processes. It also works to provide its members with information, tools and education that improve their performance and overall job satisfaction. As an affiliate of both the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), NCSHLA works to support North Carolina professionals with the assistance of these nationwide organizations through its activities and programs. The Association is led by a group of committed audiology and speech-language professionals from across North Carolina elected by the membership. The Board meets monthly and at the Association's annual convention. If you would like to attend one of the Board meetings, let us know by contacting info@ncshla.org.
