ASHA's Gift to the Grad Program
May 1 – August 31

Valuable Information for 2009 and 2010 Master's and Doctoral Grads

When you join ASHA between May 1 and August 31, 2010, you'll receive membership and certification through December 31, 2011 —which means you'll receive up to 20 months of membership for the price of 12. That's over and above the discounted dues we offer you...a potential savings of $450

The program is available to current graduates and recent graduates. Who's eligible to take advantage?

• Graduating NSSLHA members who have had at least 2 years of consecutive membership and who apply before September of the year following graduation: Save $225
• Current non-NSSLHA members or recent graduates applying within 1 year from graduation: Save $50
• Standard membership and certification: $511, which is still an excellent professional value

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is as excited as you are about your graduation. Now take the next step—become a certified member of ASHA.
