Ten state speech-language-hearing associations renewed their ASHA recognition at the Council of State Association Presidents' meeting that was held in conjunction with ASHA's Annual Convention in Miami Beach. Alex Johnson and DeAnne Owre presented the recognition renewal certificates.
The agreement signed between these associations and ASHA provides that "the cornerstones of this relationship are mutual respect, interdependence, and shared responsibilities in promoting and advocating for the collective interests of the professions of audiology, speech-language pathology, and speech, language, and hearing research, their members, and consumers of their services." The following associations renewed their recognition in 2006:
- Montana Speech-Language-Hearing Association;
- North Carolina Speech, Hearing and Language Association, Inc.;
- North Dakota Speech-Language-Hearing Association;
- Ohio Speech-Language-Hearing Association;
- Oklahoma Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Inc;
- Oregon Speech-Language and Hearing Association;
- Overseas Association of Communication Sciences;
- Pennsylvania Speech-Language-Hearing Association;
- Rhode Island Speech-Language-Hearing Association; and
- South Carolina Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
