Members and Meetings

Accreditation Handbook—Chapter V: Operation of the CAA

CAA Members

The CAA is composed of 18 members, including individuals representing CAA accredited programs, clinical practitioners who are employed full time in nonacademic settings, and 1 public member.

Serve on CAA

Interested in serving on the CAA? Each spring, a call for applications is posted to fill anticipated member vacancies on the CAA for the following year. All CAA positions—academic, practitioner, and public—are for 4-year terms beginning January 1. The CAA also recruits during that time candidates to apply to serve on its Nominating Committee, which is a 1-year term.

CAA Member Elections

The CAA Nominating Committee annually presents a slate of candidates to fill anticipated academic and practitioner member vacancies for election by CAA-accredited programs. Program directors of CAA-accredited programs are notified by email in late August when the election opens, including a link to candidate statements to share with all faculty before the program’s vote is cast. Voting closes on September 15.

The CAA conducts face-to-face meetings 3 times a year at the ASHA National Office in Rockville, Maryland.
