President’s Letter
March 5, 2011
Dear Scott Haug Foundation Members and Friends,
Mark your calendars for September 29th – October 2nd as we celebrate the 27th Annual Scott Haug Retreat. The Scott Haug Retreat is the longest running educational and fellowship retreat for audiologists and hearing instrument specialists in Texas. In fact, the Scott Haug Foundation and Retreat is 4 years older than the American Academy of Audiology – truly something to be proud of. If you are not familiar with Scott Haug, click on the “about Scott” link, and you’ll learn why the Scott Haug Foundation is so special; why we’ve been around for so long, and continue to go strong.
Once again, for 2011, we have an impressive line-up of renowned speakers presenting on timely and relevant topics that you won’t want to miss:
- Cindy Compton-Conley, Ph.D. – Gallaudet University
- Earl Johnson, Ph.D. – US Dept of Veterans Affairs/ E. Tennessee St University
- Robert Traynor, Ed.D. – Audiology Associates, Inc Greeley, CO
- Ian Windmill, Ph.D. – University of Mississippi Medical Center
Among the topics addressed by our outstanding faculty will be the latest trends in audiology such as: telehealth, practice management, baby boomer demographics, ALD’s/wireless technology and development and application of prescriptive formulae. As always, we will be providing 12 hours of continuing education units for ASHA , AAA, IHIS, and Tier 1 ABA CEUs as well!
In Texas, not only are we smart, we know how to have fun! On Thursday evening our Corporate Sponsors will provide camaraderie and libation during our Exhibitors Wine and Cheese Open House. We have also arranged for your recreational needs with golf, tennis, tubing, shopping, or relaxing in beautiful historic Gruene, Texas. Don’t forget our Friday night theme dance and the famous Casa – our incredible hospitality suite.
As you know, a Scott Haug Retreat would not be complete without a theme and this year is no different. By popular demand, our theme for this year is “Mardi Gras-Scott Style”. So, assemble your “Masquerade” and your “Big Easy” and parade down to the TBarM Ranch and Resort in New Braunfels, Texas.
If you have never been to the Scott Haug Hill Country Audiology Retreat, it is time to see what everyone has been talking about. If it has been a few years since you have joined the gang, it’s time to come home again. Rooms go fast, so make sure to reserve your room soon! If you make your reservation before August 15th, you will receive the special room rate of $90 per night, but remember to tell them you are attending the Scott Haug Retreat. For more information on registration and resort information, go to www.scotthaug.org. We’ll be waiting!
“Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler” at the 2011 Scott Haug Retreat!
See you in September!
