Congratulations on your transfer to Fellowship of the 
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association November 20 2026.
	
REMEMBERING THE FSPA NOMINATION SUMMARY MAY 16 2016
Dr Bronwyn Hemsley CPSP has willingly devoted, and continues to dedicate, a large part of her exemplary speech pathology career to serving her professional association, vital research and scholarship, and high-quality teaching and learning. In so doing, she has made significant changes to knowledge, communication and understanding within speech pathology in Australia and globally, and between and across the many allied health, medical and scientific disciplines involved with people with severe communication impairment. Accordingly, Dr Hemsley is a worthy candidate for transfer to Fellowship of Speech Pathology Australia.

HOW CAN IT POSSIBLY BE A DECADE BETWEEN FELLOWSHIPS!
