Announcements
World Voice Day Flyer
This year we are thrilled to team up with the British Voice Association in creating and distributing their annual World Voice Day flyer called Teacher! Your Voice Matters. Our International Liaison Elissa Finn has been instrumental in the AVA’s contribution. We hope that this free resource will be useful for teachers and clinicians alike.
Australian Dysphonia Network Scholarship
We are delighted to reignite the AVA’s historic affiliation with the Australia Dysphonia Network (ADN) through the initiative of Tania Savelli, one of our board’s valued Professional Development officers. The ADN is a Health Promotion Charity established in 2016 to raise awareness, resources, and support for vocal dysphonic community. As part of our collaboration, the AVA and ADN are creating a $1000 scholarship for a speech pathology student who has shown keen interest in becoming a voice clinician. Applications will open soon.
