NBASLH 46th Annual Convention Raleigh, NC

Note from the Editor

With this second issue of RESOUND))), for which I have the honor and privilege of serving as Editor, while basking in the reflected glory of my esteemed predecessor and magnanimous mentor, Jamila Harley, I wish to invite each NBASLH member to join in celebration of the record-breaking 45th Annual NBASLH Convention in Arlington, Virginia. Those among us who attended can reminisce about the momentous series of events that we enjoyed together at the 2023 Convention. Those of us who could not attend can explore the recollections shared in this issue of RESOUND))).

This was my inaugural attendance at an NBASLH Convention, during which I was blessed by epic in-person encounters with colleagues to whom I had never been introduced in person, or with whom I had not reunited since pre-pandemic times. The highlight was my profoundly moving face-to-face meeting of the minds, hearts, and souls with our valiant Copy Editor Linda Redmond Taylor, to whom full credit is owed for ensuring the success of this Summer RESOUND))) issue. Gracing this note is a pictorial souvenir from our in-person introduction. During my relocation from St.

Louis to Chicago in May, Linda graciously, generously, and super-heroically assumed responsibility for shepherding this issue through its final stages towards publication. I am forever in my noble colleague Linda’s debt.

And speaking of our RESOUND))) Committee…, we are growing! Please welcome Fontbonne University Assistant Professor, MaShyllia Minor, and Worcester State University graduate student, Christina Bartley, as the newest members of our RESOUND))) Committee, alongside our noble colleague Jonet Artis, as well as Linda and me. We are here to ensure that each and every NBASLH member, from students to life members, feels welcome to contribute to RESOUND))). Remember, RESOUND))) is *your* publication– See yourself in it by submitting your own original content! We eagerly await your submissions to our future issues; so, be alert for our announcements calling for them!

Finally, this Editor’s note cannot end without an overt expression of an infinite debt of gratitude to THEE ingenious web designer and developer Elvis Agard, whose elevation of our Spring 2023 RESOUND))) Publication to a glorious flipbook platform bedazzled

NBASLH’s members! We are certain that you will be equally impressed with Elvis’ masterful artistry in this Summer 2023 RESOUND))) issue.

Yours in 2023 NBASLH Convention and RESOUND))) celebration,

Dr. Whitney Anne Postman, Ph.D./CCC-SLP
