Symphonix March-April 2000 AAA President Robert Glaser and Academy of Dispensing Audiologists' President Jim McDonald share views of the future at the AAA Strategic Planning meeting.
Today arrives at the beginning of a new century.
Your Academy has been making positive strides in each of these areas important for our profession and for those whom we serve. The weekend of January 13th proved to be an exciting time for our profession and our Academy. Over 35 leaders in audiology attended three separate meetings during the course of the regularly scheduled meeting of the Academy Board of Directors. The Academy sponsored a meeting of AuD Program Directors, members of the AuD Task Force and representatives from national clinical training placement sites to discuss the purpose and anticipated outcomes from the fourth year of AuD training. Additionally, the Academy sponsored a Long Range Planning meeting geared to evaluate the mission and future direction of the Academy.
