Carol Fleming, M.S., CCC-SLP, a speech language pathologist at Pulaski Heights Middle School, recently was elected President-elect of the Council of State Speech and Hearing Association Presidents (CSAP). CSAP’s mission is to provide leadership training for state Speech-Language-Hearing association presidents; be a forum for collaboration and networking among these leaders; and promote communication of professional matters between state Speech-Language-Hearing Associations, ASHA and other related national professional organizations.
Ms. Fleming has been involved with this organization since 2004 and has served on its board in some capacity for four years.
“I am fortunate to continue my service to CSAP as its incoming President-elect,” she says.
Congratulations to Kathey Haynie, R.N., the school nurse at Mann Magnet Middle School, who recently was elected President of the Arkansas School Nurse Association. Her exceptional clinical skills and leadership abilities will help to guide school nurses statewide to a higher level of excellence.
Amy Stuff, R.N., has reason to be proud of her job. As the school nurse at Dunbar Magnet Middle School, not only does she take care of sick students, but she also administers wellness plans for students and faculty, monitors blood pressure and diabetes for several staff members and even conducts a weight loss program for students and staff and helps to promote general wellness by coordinating medical care and social services with local health and community agencies. No wonder she was named LRSD's School Nurse of the Year for 2009! Nurse Amy is a compassionate, caring, skilled nurse who truly is an advocate for her students, which was why several of her peers nominated her for this honor.
