Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, share their reactions the morning after receiving the ASHA Board's decision not to amend Section 3.2 of their bylaws, despite significant support for the 2% bylaws petition, including 50,000 followers and nearly 2 million Instagram views in the last 90 days. The board cited the need to establish standard operating procedures for such petitions, prompting transparency and financial accountability concerns. They emphasize the importance of fair pricing for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) and share that legal counsel has been engaged to continue advocating for change, urging SLPs to stay informed and united in this fight for autonomy and equity.
