What is Advocacy?
CSHA supports and advances the professions of speech language pathology and audiology through advocacy at the Colorado General Assembly, the Governor’s Office and the Department of Regulatory Agencies (CSHA’s Regulatory Body).
Meet the CSHA Lobbyists
A lobbyist represents CSHA at the state level to proactively assist CSHA members as legislative, budgetary or regulator issues come up that may affect CSHA members that would be otherwise unaware of. The lobbyist also reactively advocates when members are made aware that changes in policy have been made that will affect our profession or the community that we serve.

CSHA Day at the Capitol
CSHA’s “Day at the Capitol” is an annual event where Colorado speech-language pathologists and audiologists have an opportunity to meet with legislators and legislative staff to engage in dialogue about legislative priorities that impact the profession and the clients that we serve. This is event allows for members to advocate for legislation that will affect your professional and client community and build relationships with elected officials. On this day each year, we engage as one loud voice to bring attention to critical issues impacting our daily clinical practice and the lives of our clients.
