Hi Stephanie:
My answer is a resounding "YES!" The Advisory Councils are a great way to become involved with ASHA. Our current Audiology Advisory Council has a diverse representation of members from different age cohorts, number years in the profession, and practice/workplace settings. Having this diverse group of members provides many different perspectives as the Advisory Council examines issues and provides input to the Board of Directors. Early Career Professionals provide a unique perspectives and we need you!
Best,
Margot

Hello everyone:
It's so great to see the level of participation and engagement growing on the Leadership Academy Community Site! I would echo Donna's words with respect to ASHA's Advisory Councils as a great "first step" to becoming involved with ASHA. In fact, my ASHA leadership journey began as a member of the Audiology Advisory Council from my state (Michigan). I was on the Audiology Advisory Council for a few years when I ran for and was elected as Chair of the Council. In that role, I have served on the ASHA Board of Directors for the past 3 years.
When I began my service with the Audiology Advisory Council several years ago, I never imagined myself being Board of Directors "material," but with experience and the knowledge I gained through the Leadership Development Program, this once far-fetched notion became a reality. Truly, the Advisory Councils are an excellent way to become involved with ASHA. You will be "in the know" about our professions and the association, and it may take you places you never imagined!
I hope I've inspired your interest in serving your professional association! However, don't delay--the call for nominations for is open through December 5 at 3 pm EST. Self-nominations are encouraged! Take a look at which states have openings for nominations during this election cycle:

Here is our FIRST opportunity for some of you to step up and put yourselves out there for a potential leadership opportunity. The CALL FOR NOMINATIONS is out for the ASHA Board of Directors and the ASHA Advisory Councils (Speech Language Pathology AND Audiology). I can hear you all now - "I can't possible serve on the Board of Directors" - and that may be true for some of you (depending on where you are in your leadership journey). You may want to take a few steps in between here and there :-) BUT the ASHA Advisory Councils are FANTASTIC ways to get involved and learn more about what is going on in our professions. I know - I have served on the Audiology Advisory Council (and the older version of this - the Legislative Council).
The call for nominations for ASHA's Board of Directors and Advisory Councils is open October 17 through December 5, 2017, at 3:00 p.m. ET. Terms of office for these positions are January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2021. So take a minute and look at the position description for the advisory councils: https://www.asha.org/About/governance/Advisory-Council-Position-Description/
Then take a look at WHICH states have positions opening up during this cycle (there is a rolling election cycle AND it is different for the 2 different professions:
Audiology: https://www.asha.org/About/governance/Audiology-Advisory-Council-Nomination-and-Election-Cycles/
SLP: https://www.asha.org/About/governance/Speech-Language-Pathology-Advisory-Council-Nomination-and-Election-Cycles/
This opportunity is a great way to get involved, learn something new, meet new people and give back. Think about!
