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. 

The application period for the 2022 Distinguished ECP Certificate will open July 13, 2022.

• Be 30 years of age or less OR be within the first 5 years of his/her professional career
• Have no current or prior service on the ASHA Board of Directors
• Not have previously received this certificate.
