These documents are designed to assist students and new professionals to the state in obtaining the necessary licensure to practice.
Multilingual Munch and Mentor hosted by the Multicultural Issues Committee
The Multicultural Issues Committee (MIC) enjoyed connecting with ISHA members during the convention and discussing new ideas. To continue these conversations, MIC is also launching a new initiative – hosting quarterly Multilingual Munch and Mentor virtual meetings for ISHA members who want to discuss questions and brainstorm possible solutions to support efforts to better serve clients from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. We will aim to alternate between noon hour and early evening meetings. Stay tuned for more information about our meeting dates.
