Since the hurricane, ASHA has heard from many members affected by the storm who appreciated the Association's resources and assistance. ASHA created a special Web site shortly after the storm hit. The site, which contains links to various sources of assistance, offers Katrina-affected members a link to colleagues. Members gained the chance to learn about job leads and other opportunities to help rebuild their professional lives.
The Executive Board supported additional assistance to members. A letter went to members in affected areas informing them that ASHA would waive 2006 membership dues, certification fees, CE Registry fees, and the 2005 Convention registration fee. All 2006 fees were waived for any special interest division(s) to which members belonged in 2005. The association also provided product replacements and discounts.
