The Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA), a programmatic accrediting body, is seeking to fill a public member vacancy for a 4-year term beginning January 1, 2025.
The public member, who by their dissociation from the professions and the delivery of a CAA-accredited program, brings non-affiliated stakeholder's perspective to the CAA.
Individuals interested in applying for the public member position must not be a member of the professions of audiology and/or speech-language pathology. In addition, as defined by the U.S. Department of Education, a “representative of the public” is a person who is not:
(a) an employee, member of the governing board, owner, or shareholder of or consultant to a program that either is accredited or has applied for accreditation by the CAA;
(b) a current or past member of any trade association or membership organization which advocates on behalf of audiology and/or speech-language pathology issues; or
(c) a spouse, parent, child, or sibling of an individual identified in (a) or (b).
