Assessments

The beginning point for developing leadership skills is to identify current strengths and growth opportunities. The ASHA Leadership Academy accomplishes this through the use of assessments. You can access free assessments to identify leadership strengths and areas of opportunity. In addition, the provided assessments correspond to the Leadership Academy webinars which are free to view. 

Webinars

Learn at your own pace, interest, and budget! Consider these webinars as an introduction to key leadership concepts needed for anyone wishing to advance their leadership skills. Registration is free for each 1-hour webinar. You can also take a low-cost assessment to earn ASHA CEUs. 

Leadership Pathways

Members take many different leadership paths that lead them to volunteering for ASHA. Some members may volunteer for a community-based group or serve their state speech-language-hearing association. Still others may volunteer for a related professional organization or engage with ASHA in short, specific microvolunteer activities. No matter how different those paths may look and how varied people’s levels of effort may be, all volunteering is important—and ASHA recognizes that. Visit the video links below to discover the volunteer leadership pathways of four members.  


Additional Leadership Development Opportunities

ASHA offers a wide variety of leadership opportunities—from leadership development programs and mentoring partnerships to awards programs.

    I was pleased to see Kathy Boada included compassion as a leadership characteristic. I agree wholeheartedly. There are instances in which a leader's compassionate attitude may save the day for someone who is suffering (for whatever reason). A leader's ...
