On Tuesday, September 25, 2007, The American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) received a Summit Award from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) in recognition of the accomplishments of ASHA's Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Campaign that focuses on the hearing health of the very young. ASHA was one of six 2007 Summit Award winners who were chosen from more than 250 national entries received in the Associations Advance America Awards program this year.
The 8th Annual Summit Awards Dinner was held in the architecturally stunning National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.
"This award is a tribute to the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology, all of our members, and the work they do every day," stated ASHA's President Noma Anderson.
2007 ASHA President Noma Anderson and Executive Director Arlene Pietranton accepted the Summit Award on behalf of ASHA.
