Our Team

Board of Directors

Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center is governed by a diverse Board of Directors. Our board is made up of volunteers who serve without compensation. These volunteers donate their time and expertise to help CSHC continue to meet its mission in our community. Additionally, each member serves on at least one committee: Investment/Finance, Human Resources, Audit, Marketing & Development, Board Development and Executive.  Having an engaged and active board is invaluable to our continued success.

Our Staff

At CSHC, we are proud to have a team of highly-qualified and caring professionals. All of our Speech and Language Pathologists and Audiologists hold a minimum of a master’s degree in their specialty, are licensed by the state of North Carolina, and hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association or American Academy of Audiologists.
