Candidate Statement – Kelly Arellano

Kelly Arellano

I am seeking the office of President-Elect after serving CSHA in numerous leadership roles. I first served two terms on the Board of Directors as District 7 Director, contributing to statewide governance and strategic decision making. I also chaired the Early Intervention Committee, where I advocated for SLPs and SLPAs across California by elevating workforce, access, and policy barriers impacting early intervention services. Currently, as Vice President of Membership & Outreach, I spearheaded setting-based committees that have strengthened engagement and driven organizational growth. This progression of leadership has prepared me to effectively lead CSHA as President. Please vote for me!
