President's Message
Dear Members, I hope you all have been enjoying this fine summer. But for any of you who have been affected by the severe floods, fires, tornadoes, or heat that we've witnessed this summer, please accept my best wishes that you've found the help and support you may have needed to get through the challenges these events have created.
In the last newsletter, I mentioned that ANCDS provides the only opportunity for advanced clinical certification for management of individuals with neurologic communication disorders. In this President's Message, I'd like to provide some additional information about the Academy's program for board certification.

Committee Updates
Finance Committee:
Jacqueline Laures-Gore was selected in April as Committee Chair for the new ANCDS Finance Committee. Committee members include Rebecca Shisler Marshall, Melissa Duff, Hsinhuei Sheen Chiou, and Sarah Schellinger. The committee has begun to develop ideas to help ANCDS increase revenue to support its mission and subsequent activities.
Professional Affairs Committee (PAC):
The PAC was restructured in mid-2017, with Heather Clark appointed as the new chair and all new committee members recruited. The PAC is creating an action plan for meeting the charge of initiating and maintaining liaisons with other professional associations. On the horizon for 2018 is increasing the visibility of ANCDS at scientific meetings (e.g., Clinical Aphasiology Conference, Conference on Motor Speech) and exploring the various ways ANCDS can partner with other associations to forward our respective missions. The PAC is recruiting new members - contact Heather Clark if you are interested.

Book Review: Tell Me Everything You Don't Remember
Christine Hyung-Oak Lee was born in 1973 in Queens, New York. Her parents had emigrated from South Korea to the United States to pursue professional careers. While her mother and father envisioned Lee would grow up to contribute to the medical world, the independently-minded Lee graduated with an English degree to become a writer. Then, on December 31, 2006, at age 33, Lee woke up with an excruciating headache. She suddenly had difficulty forming sentences, steadying her balance, and seeing the world in its true form. She suffered a thalamic stroke. Just over 10 years later, she published the powerful and honest account of the events leading up to her stroke, and how her identity changed and continued to shift as she confronts the challenges of her new life.
