I want to begin this column by offering my sincere congratulation to each of our exceptional colleagues for their outstanding work in the area of voice and voice disorders. Every year the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recognizes the exception contributions within its membership. This year Joseph Stemple has been awarded Honors of the Association for his distinguished professional contributions to the field of voice. Several Special Interest Group (SIG) 3 affiliates are the recipient of the Fellowship of the Association Award for their excellent work and valued contributions. This year Jody Kreiman, Tanya Eadie, Christopher Watts, Molly Thompson, Paula Currie, and Sue Ellen Krause will be recognized as ASHA fellows at the national Convention in November. I'm happy to report that Daryush Mehta is the recipients of the award for early career contribution in research. On behalf of the SIG 3 Coordinating Committee I offer hearty congratulations to each of our outstanding colleagues.
