ASHA (State-Based) Advocacy Networks Did you know that ASHA has national networks to advocate issues on behalf of clinicians around the country? Since 1999, ASHA has created four networks; State Education Adovcacy Leaders (SEALs), Medicare Intermediary and Carrier (MICs), State Licensing, and State Advocates for Reimbursement (STARs). Each network targets a specific population or issue and state appointed representatives work closely with ASHA to solve problems, develop policies, and diseminate information to support the professional efforts of communicative disorders professionals across the country. Here is a summary of each of the networks and the current PSHA–appointed representative. Please feel free to contact them with your questions, concerns, or comments. And, while you are at it, think about volunteering to be a representative yourself. You will note that one person has graciously volunteered to cover two areas until another representative steps forward. We are always looking for new faces and new ideas! Contact the PSHA office if you are interested in becoming a state assocation representative. State Education
