PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Norma’s News
Your Executive Council has been working tirelessly for you:
- We are
revising bylaws to more efficiently serve you. One change is that
we are going to one year terms for officers. Please consider
volunteering to serve on EC. It is such a wonderful ex-perience
and you get to work with the best people! Mary Gray is handling
nominations, so please contact her at mary.gray@va.gov. if you are
interested.
- We are
still working on the salary supplement, but this is a long and tedious
process. Mary Gray and Doug Keefe along with Jim Carloss, our
lobbyist, are working on this for the next legislature in January.
- We have
been collaborating with the Kentucky Board of Licensing for Audiology
and Speech-Language Pathology regarding revisions to the licensure law,
which affects your practice. Alice Inman has been instrumental in
this process. Did you know that if you are in a classified SLP
position in the schools that you are required to have a state license?
- Issues
regarding Medicaid billing and licensure are also looming. Linda
Myers alerted us to pro-posed changes in the First Steps Program, and
feels we influenced the decision to table proposed changes which
members felt would violate ethical practices.
- John
Thompson is working on a proposed model of investigating ethics
violations by members.
- We added a
graduate student member to Executive Council, Michelle Daugherty, from
the Uni-versity of Kentucky. We decided, at Michelle’s suggestion
to also add an undergraduate member, and decided to rotate the choices
among the universities. Murray State University will choose the
first undergraduate member of Executive Council.
- You will
have an opportunity to vote on proposed bylaws changes. We will
incorporate this into the Membership Forum at the annual conference.
- We voted
to allow students to come to the annual conference for FREE if you
volunteer. Please remember to renew your dues and try to find
someone who is not a member to join also.
- Start making plans
NOW to attend the 2008 Annual Conference on Communication Disorders in
Coving-ton, Feb. 20-23 next year. It will be very special, with things
for the whole family to do as well as earning those vital CEs.
As always, if
you have any questions or concerns, please do no hesitate to contact me
at nnhogan@aol.com.
