Hello ANCDS Members!
Hello ANCDS Members!
Dear ANCDS Members,
Member Spotlight: Rik Lemoncello, PhD, CCC-SLP
All of our committees have been working very hard, as you can see by the updates in this and previous newsletters. I want to especially acknowledge the Education and Standards Committee, particularly the Chair of the Meetings subcommittee, Mike de Riesthal, for their time and effort in getting the 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting program in place so early. They have put together another really excellent program. You should have received an email about it, and you can also find the information on our webpage. I hope that many of you are planning to attend.
Past Fellow Spotlight: Natalie Douglas, Ph.D.

President's Message |
Greetings ANCDS members!
Incoming President's Message |
As I assume the Presidency of ANCDS, I am grateful for the hard work of my predecessor, Julie Wambaugh. Among her many accomplishments was continuing and expanding the legacy of Richard Peach in ensuring that our finances are in sound condition.
Arnold E. Aronson, Ph.D., an early and strongly supportive member of ANCDS, died on November 1, 2018, at age 90. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Speech Pathology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and then became a faculty member there. In 1962, he joined the Mayo Clinic where he worked until his retirement in 1998. He was a Professor in the Mayo Medical School and served as the Head of the Section of Speech Pathology in the Department of Neurology from 1979 until 1992.
Outgoing President's Message |
As we begin our new year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to have served as president of ANCDS. It has been my honor to work on behalf of our organization and my pleasure to serve along with our many volunteers.
