Become a WSHA Member

With a current membership of over 700 practitioners, researchers, educators, and students, WSHA is THE professional organization for communication disorders in the State of Wisconsin!

WSHA's membership year is July 1 - June 30.  Join today and receive the remainder of the 2024-2025 membership year at no charge!

Note: 65% of WSHA dues for 2023-2024 cannot be deducted as a business expense for federal income tax purposes due to our lobbying activities. (This is not a PAC).

Every Member Counts!

In these budget-tightening times, speech-language pathologists and audiologists in Wisconsin need to have a strong voice in Madison to ensure that the services we provide continue to be supported. When WSHA’s lobbyist represents professional interests before the state legislature, make sure that your interests are included in WSHA’s voice. The strength of WSHA depends on the strength and depth of our membership. Every member counts! Contact the WSHA administrative office (800-545-0640 or wsha@badgerbay.co) with any comments or questions.
