New TAA Board Members Elected and Appointed
At the close of the Texas Academy of Audiology’s 10th Annual Conference, held in Austin on November 13-14 2009, President Matt Lyon, M.S. announced new members of the TAA Board in 2010. The new officers will be:
- Dick Danielson, PhD, Houston, TAA President;
- Steve Miller, AuD, Dallas, President-Elect; and
- Jim Phelan AuD, Beaumont, Secretary-Treasurer.
- Douglas Beck AuD, San Antonio, was elected by the membership to serve as Member-at-Large on the Board. He will serve as the Vice President of Professional Issues for a 2-year term
Lyon, who provided TAA with excellent leadership and guidance throughout his term, will now serve as TAA’s Past President for 2010.
On December 28 2009, a vacancy on the Board of Directors (caused by a resignation of one of the members elected at the November business meeting) was filled by the Board with an appointment of Jennifer Bobo AuD, Rowlett TX, as a Member-at-Large. She will serve as the Vice President of Membership for a 1-year term.
The Texas Academy of Audiology is confident that each of these new board members will help guide TAA to better support TAA members during critical times ahead.
