Advocate and Volunteer
Advocacy means giving voice to a particular interest or need—the act of actively supporting a cause, idea or policy. Today the profession of audiology needs your voice to be heard! You will read more in this issue about ADA’s 18 by 18 Initiative and how you can support it by speaking up for better audiologic care under Medicare. Your voice will help ensure the best outcomes for audiology and the patients that you serve! There will be numerous opportunities to volunteer your time and talent to achieving 18 by 18 in 2013 and beyond. Stay tuned…
