It is my desire to represent all Michigan audiologists as your AAC Member. Through my involvement with the Michigan Audiology Coalition, I have had the opportunity to network with audiologists in a variety of practice settings, from hospital and clinical environments to private practice, educational, and university settings. Under the new ASHA governance model, it is important to maintain a broad perspective and to be mindful of the varying needs of colleagues in all practice settings, and I pledge to do so as your elected representative to the Audiology Advisory Council.
