NSSLHA SSO Positions - Utah

Dear Utah NSSLHA Chapter Students and Advisors, 

On behalf of the NSSLHA West Regional Councilor, Crystal Garcia (nsslhawest@gmail.com), we have been asked to provide you all with news and updates about recent changes to NSSLHA governance this year (http://www.asha.org/NSSLHA/governance/) and to encourage students in your programs to engage more within and with other NSSLHA chapters and leaders at the state, regional, and national levels. 

There were currently 8 newly appointed Student State Officers working within the NSSLHA West Region in the 13 states included in the region (http://www.asha.org/NSSLHA/governance/NSSLHA-Regional-Councilors/). Utah had the unique opportunity of having 2 Student State Officers (SSO) selected to represent both SLP and AuD students in this first year of these new positions.  For more information regarding these positions, and how you could apply for the 2017-2018 school year, please see: http://www.asha.org/NSSLHA/governance/Student-State-Officer-Position-Descriptions/

We will be using this blog (add it to your bookmarks or subscribe below: nsslhanews-utah.blogspot.com) to forward information to all of you more efficiently and look forward to how these positions can better foster communication and collaboration between our state chapters here in Utah, as well as with the student association that works very hard to support you in your future career endeavors (Utah Speech-Language Hearing Association-USHA).

Thank you for your time and attention. We look forward to getting to know and work with you.
Please feel to contact us with questions or concerns as work to facilitate communication and provide you with the most up to date information and news from the NSSLHA leaders.

Best Wishes, 

NSSLHA West Region Student State Officers (SSO) - UTAH
