New Professional Pathway Program
Graduating national SAA members are eligible for the Academy's New Professional Pathway Program!
After graduating with your first doctoral degree in audiology, the Academy will automatically transition your national SAA membership to new professional membership in the Academy when renewals are run for 2025.
To take advantage of this member benefit, national SAA members should verify their graduation year by logging on to their member dashboard and selecting Update My Profile. While there, members can also update their email address from a school or university email to a more permanent email address to maintain timely communications.

"SAA empowers students to become leaders and actively contribute to the future of audiology."
Lindee Alvarez
SAA President 2024-2025

Do you like to sing? The Fabulous Audiology Choir is looking for voices to join us in singing our National Anthem at the AAA 2025+HearTECH Expo in New Orleans, Louisiana.
If you’ve been to an AAA annual conference before, you’ve probably seen the choir at the opening session and wondered, “Who are these singers?” The choir is “of audiologists, by audiologists, for audiologists.” Sound familiar?
Made up of audiologists from all over the country and all different settings, Dana McCray, AuD, is excited to welcome back national SAA members in the hopes of joining ALL audiologists, present and future, in the spirit of song.
If you are interested, contact Dana McCray, AuD, at warbletone@gmail.com. We hope to hear your fabulous voice at AAA 2025+HearTECH expo this year!
