speech pathology week 2014

Thank you all! SPWeek 2014 24–30 August

However you measure success there is little doubt that Speech Pathology Week in 2014 has been a great success. Thanks to the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of countless SPA members. Reading through the local media that has been generated, looking at the huge number of photographs sent in for our Facebook page, and talking with members at various events, it is clear that members embraced Speech Pathology Week in 2014. The multitude of photographs sent in show a very active membership. The photographs show members establishing displays in libraries, signing the ICP2014 Pledge, being photographed with the Nation for Communication bubble, and challenging the public to think and talk about the importance of communication as a basic human right. Make sure you check out the Facebook page and Branch pages in this issue of Speak Out to see what your local colleagues were up to! Thank you to everyone who took part. If you have any ideas about making the week better and more effective please don’t hesitate to contact me.
