District
9 Advisory Committee had a joint NSSLHA/CSHA event at San
Diego State University on February 10. The event
was an informal dinner and informational gathering to let
students know the benefits of joining CSHA as well as offer
a chance to meet CSHA members and hear about the upcoming
state convention. Diane Collins (CSHA Director, Dist
10) and Terri Hopper (CSHA Student Representative, Southern
Area) joined us for this event. There were over 30
students who attended the function.
On February 11, there was a Department of Education meeting
scheduled in San Diego to allow ASHA members an opportunity
to provide input regarding new IDEA Law. This event was attended by some Dist 9 members, and reportedly there
was an excellent turn out. Those attending were able to submit questions
and comments to the ED representatives.
District 9 is planning a workshop on the "hot" topic of autism for
Saturday, May 21. At the present time, we hope to be able to have speech
pathologist Lannie Legler to speak on Teaching Social Communication Skills
to Adolescents with Aspergers. This was based on input from District
9 members. A half-day workshop is in the works!
The Nominating Committee welcomes newly elected members Marcelle Richardson
and Donna Swanson-Perrelet. Thanks to outgoing Nominating Committee Toni
Cacciatore and Brian DeLeon for their service to the committee for the past
2 years. Your input and help was greatly appreciated.
Congratulations to Julianna Borgatti and Shay McMinn for being recognized by
CSHA District 9 for their contributions and for receiving the CSHA Awards for
Service and Achievement respectively. District 9 is also pleased to note
that our new CSHA President-Elect will be our very own Marlowe Fischer! Congratulations
to Marlowe.
Due to a change in job requiring relocation to Sacramento, Jan Speirs
will be stepping down from her position as Director. Kathryn Kinslow
will be filling the role, and a special election will be held to replace the
Director-Elect position.
