*At the September 29, 2005, WSHA Executive Board meeting, it was voted to include an option on the next convention registration form for registrants to become WSHA members at that time, and for those who choose to remain non-members to pay a $20.00 CEU processing fee. This was done due to the rising costs associated with providing CEUs to convention attendees.

WSHA Student and CF Sponsorship Program

The WSHA Student and CF Sponsorship Program enables professional speech-language pathologists and audiologists to provide full sponsorship for WSHA memberships to students majoring in communication disorders or clinical fellow candidates.

To sponsor students or clinical fellows, members should indicate the amount of their contribution on their membership application or renewal. The fee for sponsoring a student is $20 per year. The fee for sponsoring a clinical fellow is $40.00 per year.
To qualify for a sponsored student membership, a student must be currently enrolled in a communication disorders program at the University of Wyoming. Students must complete a WSHA membership application, note “Student Sponsorship” on the application form, and obtain the signature of the Division Chair.
To qualify for a sponsored CF membership, the CF candidate must be currently employed at a job site in Wyoming. Clinical fellows must complete a WSHA membership application and note “CF Sponsorship” on the application form. The CF supervisor must sign the application.

Sponsored student and CF memberships depend on membership’s generosity and are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. A member may request a specific student or CF candidate or may choose to be an anonymous sponsor. WSHA would like to encourage members to mentor students and Clinical Fellows as a way of encouraging the future of our profession and our association.
