Happy New Year and welcome to MSHA 2018. I am honored to begin my
service as 2018 MSHA President. It is my hope that “engagement in your
state association” will be the theme for 2018. Involvement through
professional service is highly rewarding. I challenge you to help
promote the growth of our membership this year. MSHA continues to work
tirelessly for both Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists behind
the scenes at many levels. In 2018, I want that work to be transparent
to all professionals especially in this state. MSHA is comprised of an
Executive Board consisting of nine members. In addition, MSHA also
consists of many committee volunteers who work on behalf of the
membership. The more involved you are the more MSHA can do for our
profession at the state and national level. Check the new and improved
website frequently for updates on what MSHA is doing for you.
MSHA
annual membership dues along with MSHA’s renowned continuing education
conference continue to be our primary sources of income. Therefore, it
is vital that we engage in conversation and promotion of both membership
and attending the conference. MSHA’s continued success depends on this.
It is crucial to become MSHA members and attend conference!! Let’s all
spread the word!
The 2018 MSHA Conference will be held in Natchez
on April 18-20. We will offer a welcome reception, honors luncheon and
block party and of course top notch speakers and a plethora of topics.
Remember that attending conference not only helps you earn necessary
CEU’s but offers valuable networking and reconnecting with friends.
I
would like to thank the 2017 Presidential Committee, Claudette Edwards
and Rebecca Lowe for the guidance provided last year. Furthermore, I
would like to welcome Kimberly Ward as President-Elect. This will
certainly be an outstanding Presidential Committee. I am looking forward
to working with the entire 2018 Executive Board and Committees as we
engage our members and colleagues in our glorious state.
In
closing, I would like to thank all the Presidents before me for leading
the way and inspiring the Presidents that would serve after you. Thank
you to each member for allowing MSHA to act on your behalf and know
MSHA’s best interests are always at the forefront of every decision.
Please consider volunteering for a committee or board position in the
future!!!!!!
Amy Rosonet LeBert
MSHA President 2018
