Membership Work
Connecting with directors new to the district and extending personal invitations.
Successes & Challenges
New directors in the district bringing lots of positive energy and excitement.
Voted to raise compensation for judges, chose to keep SSAA, adding second evening stay for clinicians out of area.
SLPS participation is sparse, and we have difficulty connecting with new directors due to turn over. We are constantly seeking ways to make participation in events inclusive to the members of our district.
