The Native American Caucus serves as a forum for discussion of the issues that influence the provision of quality services to Native American populations including recruitment of Native American students to the field of speech-language pathology and audiology. Enhancement of service to Native Americans and encouragement of Native American leadership in the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology have been primary topics for the group. Other areas of interest have been supporting research efforts, serving as a resource for information, and promoting public awareness and understanding of the uniqueness of Native American culture. Membership has included both Native American professionals as well as those professionals who work with predominately Native American populations. Native American NSSLHA members have also been part of the group.
