Outgoing President's Message

Dear ANCDS Members, 

What a whirlwind of a year it has been for ANCDS!  The months flew by as the Executive Board (EB) and Committees completed their work on the numerous goals they established.  I cannot believe it is time for me to step down as President and welcome Lynn Maher as the incoming 2023 President.  I had the pleasure of physically handing over the ANCDS gavel to President-Elect Maher at the ANCDS Annual Meeting in New Orleans.   

The culmination of the year was the successful in-person annual ANCDS Business and Scientific Meeting in New Orleans. Approximately 90 attendees came together to reconnect, re-energize, and renew personal and professional relationships.  A huge thank you to the Education and Standards Committee for its outstanding work in developing a dynamic group of speakers on the topic of Right Hemisphere Communication Disorders.  Their presentations stimulated much discussion and generated ideas that will undoubtedly lead to future research by our members.  Thank you to Louise Keegan and her committee, including a shout-out to Erin Bush for her subcommittee’s development of the scientific program, to Kelly Crouch for arranging for ASHA CEUs, and to Michael de Riesthal and Kimberly McCullough for the many hours they spent at the registration tables. 

I also want to express appreciation to Miriam Carroll-Alfano, Chair of the Membership Committee for the successful Student Fellowship Program that preceded the Annual Business Meeting.  Twelve graduate and doctoral level student recipients and their mentors met over breakfast and were recognized at the Annual Business Meeting.  If you are interested in mentoring a student and plan to attend the annual ANCDS Scientific Meeting in Boston, please consider signing up when the call goes out in the fall before the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting.

The top recognition of the day, presented with mystery and intrigue by Gloriajean Wallace, was the Honors of the Association to a very surprised Stacie Raymer on recognition of her career-long contributions to research, leadership, education and mentoring, interprofessionalism, and ANCDS!  After declining numerous requests encouraging Stacie to attend the ANCDS meeting (unknowingly, to receive the Honors), Gloriajean successfully schemed to have Stacie present the Honors to Dr. Peach, the 2021 Honors recipient.  If you were not present at the luncheon this year, be sure to attend next year’s meeting in Boston to experience the drama Dr. Wallace adds to the Honors presentation!

As a small organization that offers exceptional educational opportunities for its members, ANCDS could not sustain its annual meeting without the financial support of its sponsors.  I want to take this opportunity to express our sincerest appreciation to this year’s sponsors:  LSVT Global (gold level), Intelligent Video Solutions (silver level), and Plural Publishing (green level) who also donated books that were raffled off to student attendees.

There have been numerous advances and accomplishments this past year.  First, I want to highlight the work of the Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) Ad Hoc Committee for its transition to a standing committee beginning in 2023.  The REDI committee established collaborations with other committees with the goal of weaving diversity, equity, and inclusion principles throughout the organization.  The Committee developed a REDI Self-Study program and piloted it with EB members.  It presented select findings at the Scientific Meeting.  The REDI Committee also presented a session in collaboration with Dr. Jamila Minga.

Another advancement by ANCDS this year was establishing the Board of Residency Education (BRE) and completing a Memorandum of Understanding with the VA.  In preparation for implementing the BRE, a legal review of BRE standards and application was completed and the Procedural manual for site visitors was drafted.  In 2023 the goal is to train an initial group of site visitors and to spread the word to facilities providing services to individuals with neurologic communication disorders.

Over the past year, ANCDS maintained a steady membership and a fiscally sound budget.  At the annual EB and Committee Chair Retreat, there was a discussion addressing the silvering effect (aging) of the membership and how ANCDS can attract the younger generation of professionals.  ANCDS leadership will be addressing this topic in the year ahead.  If the members of ANCDS have ideas on this topic, feel free to email one of us: Carole Roth, Past-President, Lynn Maher, 2023 President, or Heather Clark, 2023 President-Elect. You can find our emails at the end of this letter.

A successful list of candidates was developed by the Nominations Committee.  We welcome the following new Executive Board Members:  Heather (“Hetty”) Clark, President-Elect; Ana Rivera and Victoria (“Tori”) Scharp, Members at Large. Neila Donovan, Treasurer, stepped in to fill a vacancy in 2022 and was re-elected in 2023. Welcome to these new members of the EB!  We look forward to getting to know you and working with you.

As we welcome new EB members, recognition is due to those members who are leaving us; Janet Patterson, Jessica (Jessie) Brown, and Meghan Savage.  Although Janet is stepping down as Past President, she will remain on the EB in the position of chair and liaison to the Board of Residency Education.  Following in Janet’s footsteps has not been easy!  She is a dynamic, creative, and productive leader.  Among her many accomplishments are the implementation of the BRE, the reorganization of the EB structure, and the By-Laws revisions.  I could not have had a better mentor!  Thank you, Janet, for all your contributions and support!  We know there is more to come! 

Jessie, thank you for your tremendous contributions on the EB as the liaison to the Membership committee.  Your enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication to the student fellowship program contributed to increased student fellowship applications, increased numbers of student fellows, and increased ANCDS student members.  Meghan, thank you for your insightfulness, collaboration, and dedication to the EB as liaison to the Communications Committee.  You successfully increased ANCDS’s visibility with an updated website and social media presence.  We will miss the two of you on the EB and look forward to your continued contributions to ANCDS in the future.

Did you know that over the past 12 months ANCDS:

  • Offered 3 webinars for CEUs.

  • Provided 2 podcasts. 

  • Was active on social media.

  • Reviewed and updated the By-Laws, which were accepted by 96% of voting members.

  • Evidence-Based Clinical Research (EBCR) writing groups increased to 8 with over 60 members involved, and 3 publications completed.

  • 3 individuals became newly certified by the Board of Clinical Certification (BCC), earning the right to use the initials BC-ANCDS to identify themselves as specialists in neurologic communication disorders.

  • Completed another year of mentoring individuals interested in becoming Board Certified.

  • Completed 3 Member Newsletters.

  • Maintained partnerships with 29 related professional organizations (RPOs).

  • Archivist Mary Purdy categorized, organized, and developed cumulative spreadsheets to consolidate ANCDS historical information.

As you can see, ANCDS volunteers contribute endless hours of enthusiasm, creativity, collaboration, and dedication, often leading to career-long, and even life-long, professional relationships and friendships.  The more involved one is in ANCDS, the more personally meaningful the organization becomes.  I not only encourage you to engage with ANCDS but to recruit your friends and colleagues to consider joining ANCDS.  ANCDS is all about serving the professional, clinical, educational, and scientific interests of its members to encourage the highest quality of life for those with communication disorders.

As I prepare to wrap up the year as ANCDS President, I want to express my sincerest appreciation to the Executive Board Members for their leadership, thoughtful discussion, generation of new ideas, and dedication to the mission and purpose of the Academy.  It has been a rewarding experience to work with you.  I appreciate all the support and humor Sheryle Hazard, CAE, ANCDS Executive Director, and the ADS staff have provided.  To the Committee Chairs, I owe a huge thank you for your creative collaborations and enthusiasm in establishing and achieving goals for your respective committees that contribute to the Mission and Purpose of the Academy.  Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to each of you, the members of ANCDS, for your continued support of the Academy, which cannot survive without you. 

I look forward to working with Lynn Maher, President-Elect, and the new and current EB members as I move into the Past-President role in 2023.  If you, or someone you know, are interested in learning more about ANCDS or how to engage in volunteer opportunities in the Academy, please review committee descriptions here, then sign up to volunteer here; or contact one of the following: Carole Roth ([email protected]), Lynn Maher ([email protected]), or Heather Clark ([email protected]). 

Watch for an announcement of the new “Membership Forum” to be held in February to review the By-Laws revisions, the Board of Residency Education, and the Board of Clinical Certification; as well as to answer other questions you may bring to the forum.

Wishing you and your families a very happy, healthy, and joyous Holiday Season and New Year!

Sincerely,

Roth Headshot

Incoming President's Message

Greetings ANCDS Community!  As I prepare to step into the role of President of ANCDS, I want you to know I do so with great pride and a heavy dose of humility.  As I said at the Annual Business Meeting, ANCDS has been such an important force in my professional life, from when I first joined as a doctoral student and throughout the many iterations of my career.  It is a privilege to serve in this capacity, and I want to thank you all for your votes of confidence in allowing me to do so.  Thank you to the members of the Executive Board and the Committee Chairs for helping me adjust to the myriad activities of the organization and keeping the goals of the organization moving forward.  Special thanks to 2022 President Carole Roth and Past-President Janet Patterson for their mentorship, guidance, and extraordinary patience over the year.  Thankfully, I have their continued support as I try to fill those exceptionally large shoes.  As you can see from Carole’s message in this newsletter, the committees of ANCDS have been busy and productive.  ANCDS continues to thrive because of the dedication and service of these many ANCDS members.   

At our annual retreat in November, the Executive Board reviewed the mission, vision, and goals of the organization.  Over the coming months, we will work to ensure that we are addressing those goals effectively and look for ways we can improve our efforts.  If we start with our stated mission: “To enhance the communicative lives of people with neurologic communication disorders,” then our next step is to ensure that all the activities and efforts of the organization are directed toward accomplishing that mission.  In the inspiring words of Dr. Richard Peach when he accepted the 2021 Honors of the Association at the Annual Scientific Meeting luncheon, “This is what sets ANCDS apart.”  When you join ANCDS, you are making a commitment to that mission as well.  Thank you for doing what you can, in whatever environment you are in, to the greatest extent possible, to enhance the communicative lives of the people we serve.  I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Lynn Headshot

Reflections on the 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting

Kimberly A. Eichhorn, M.S., CCC-SLP; BC-ANCDS; ATP

If you were fortunate enough to be in NOLA this November for the Annual Scientific Meeting, you know that not much replaces connecting face-to-face.  Considering the rich content of our time together, it feels nearly impossible to harness the ideas and goals the meeting sparked.  I can thank the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and their push for age-friendly health systems for helping me organize my thoughts.  As I attempted to write this, I kept coming back to this question, what matters most?

1. Why were you interested in the ANCDS conference fellow program? 
ANCDS is a smaller group of professionals in my field of interest (neurological communication disorders) with whom I can learn from and network with.  The fellowship program offered me an opportunity to have support when I was about to enter the field as an early career professional.  Dr. Duff is also an integral part of ANCDS and offered me insight into how ANCDS itself worked and what I could get involved with as part of the membership.

1. Why were you interested in the ANCDS conference fellow program?

I was interested in the ANCDS conference fellow program because I was excited to meet people with similar interests to me.  I looked forward to learning from people with experience in neurologic communication disorders. 

Syracuse University Aphasia Lab

At the Syracuse University (SU) Aphasia Lab, we use behavioral and physiological measures to study the effects of biopsychosocial factors on speech and language treatment outcomes to improve recovery and quality of life for persons with aphasia.  Dr. Ellyn Riley, an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, is the Principal Investigator and director of the lab.  Current lab members include two part-time speech-language pathologists (Eve Mercer, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Danielle Kealy, M.S., CCC-SLP), a first-year doctoral student (Hannah Rembrandt, M.S., CCC-SLP), three clinical SLP Master’s students (Juliet Kibbe, Gabrielle Weinstein, and Nicole Vieyto), and two undergraduate students (Christina Piera and Mitchell Mazza).
