Distinguished Early Career Professional (ECP) Certificate
The Distinguished Early Career Professional (ECP) Certificate was created to recognize and identify ECPs in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology who are making an impact in the areas of leadership, volunteering, or advocacy at the local, state, and/or national level. This will also highlight the involvement of ECPs in their local, state, and community speech-language-hearing associations.
To apply for the Distinguished ECP Certificate, an applicant must:
- Be a member in good standing of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
- Be 30 years of age or less OR be within the first 5 years of their professional career
- Have no current or prior service on the ASHA Board of Directors
