Celebrating a Commitment to Lifelong Learning

Published in the March 2026 issue of the ISHA Voice.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) strongly encourages professionals to engage in lifelong learning and to continuously refine their knowledge and clinical skills. To support this commitment, ASHA Continuing Education (ASHA CE) approves providers to deliver high-quality continuing education opportunities and recognizes member participation through the prestigious Award for Continuing Education (ACE).

The ACE is awarded to individuals who demonstrate a sustained dedication to professional growth by earning 7.0 ASHA Continuing Education Units (CEUs), equivalent to 70 contact hours, within a 36-month period. This achievement reflects not only a commitment to staying current in the field, but also a proactive approach to delivering the highest standard of care.

During this reporting period, the following Illinois ASHA members and/or certificate holders were honored with the ACE by the Continuing Education Board. For those who have earned this distinction multiple times, the number of awards received is indicated in parentheses—an impressive testament to their ongoing pursuit of excellence.

We proudly recognize these professionals for their dedication to advancing their expertise and strengthening the field of speech-language pathology and audiology.
