NCSHLA: A Membership That Rewards and Benefits You!
Being a member of the North Carolina's premier speech, language and hearing alliance brings with it a range of benefits. Central to its mission, the work of the association is all geared to helping members advance in the profession, and to make work within the field rewarding and enjoyable.
Members Help Influence Policy/Advocacy for The Profession
While all SLP/A professionals reap the rewards of NCSHLA's advocacy initiatives, the association's volunteer members are the ones who ultimately guide these efforts. NCSHLA looks to its members for guidance, feedback and perspectives.
Great Educational and Development Opportunities
NCSHLA is continually at the forefront of emerging trends in professional development. Members pay lower fees at all education symposiums and are first to receive information on upcoming opportunities.
Ongoing Clinical Practice Information & Support
NCSHLA continually tracks issues at the state and national levels, and keeps members up-to-date on current developments that effect their practices. The association distributes this information via electronic channels in convenient, easy to use formats.

These enable members from all parts of the state to interact, build relationships and share information. All members become part of this network and begin reaping rewards instantly.
