On September 5 the RISHA Executive Board held a 6 hour strategic planning meeting led by Stan Dublinske, Senior Advisor for Planning for ASHA. A vision statement was developed, and the RISHA mission statement was revised to more accurately reflect our purpose in the years to come. See the new vision and mission statements at the top of this page. A strategic plan for September 2008 through December 2010 was developed to help RISHA guide its members in activities which will help us fulfill our vision and our mission. |

Twelve members of the RISHA Executive Board and Schools Committee helped raise awareness of communication disorders with a table displaying facts about speech, language, and hearing as well as gifts of pencils, tablets, bookmarks, and chocolate lips for state legislators and visitors to the State House. Our very own state Senator Hanna Gallo, SLP, introduced the RISHA members in the Senate chamber, and a proclamation for Better Hearing and Speech Month was read. Thank you, Hanna, for all your efforts on behalf of RISHA in our state legislature. More photos from State House visit
