• ISHA’s Leadership Development Program held its graduation for the cohort members this month.  The virtual graduation was attended by Dr. Tena McNamara, ASHA President, and Vicki Deals-Williams, ASHA CEO. 
• The Multicultural Issues Committee (MIC) enjoyed connecting with ISHA members during the convention and discussing new ideas. To follow up with our discussion, MIC invites you to share what topics related to cultural and linguistic diversity and responsivity you would like addressed in future articles, posts, and professional development activities.  Please feel free to indicate your topics of interest here.
