Greetings ANCDS members!

He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Speech Pathology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and then became a faculty member there. In 1962, he joined the Mayo Clinic where he worked until his retirement in 1998. He was a Professor in the Mayo Medical School and served as the Head of the Section of Speech Pathology in the Department of Neurology from 1979 until 1992.
| Incoming President's Message |
As I assume the Presidency of ANCDS, I am grateful for the hard work of my predecessor, Julie Wambaugh. Among her many accomplishments was continuing and expanding the legacy of Richard Peach in ensuring that our finances are in sound condition.
| Outgoing President's Message |
As we begin our new year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to have served as president of ANCDS. It has been my honor to work on behalf of our organization and my pleasure to serve along with our many volunteers.
