Awards
One of the most positive things our Association
can do is to recognize the accomplishments and dedication
of our peers. Annually SCSHA honors both members
and non-members for their outstanding achievements
and service to the fields of Audiology and Speech
Language Pathology. The presentation of an award
or honor upon one of our colleagues is indeed an
affirmation of the significant contributions they
have made to our profession.
The following honors and awards are given to outstanding
colleagues within our profession:
- Typed nominations should be sent to the Special
Recognition Committee for eligibility consideration.
Approval will be conferred by two-thirds vote
of the Executive Board. Nominees for any recognition
will be notified if they are the recipient of
an award or honor. Awards will be presented at
the annual SCSHA Convention.
