Therefore this year we are committed to expanding our resources by dipping into our capital so that we can keep abreast of the provincial demands. OSLA has been a lean professional association for quite some time. What we might gain from Joint Membership is not efficiencies, as our roles and activities will remain quite distinct. Instead we hope there will be some added value for the same dues. Both play a role that impacts your professional lives.
Certification remains an option that members can pursue, if they so choose.
Collectively we are best able to make the case for increased service and resource requirements for the communicatively handicapped and proactively plan for our professional futures, rather than reacting to crises as they arise.
