It is our pleasure to welcome a new member of the board, our Voice Foundation 2012 VERA Award Recipient, Michael Sheehan.

One of America’s leading communications trainers and strategists, his expertise embraces every format and every forum whether media interview, major speech or high-stakes Q&A.

He has received the Individual Achievement Award from the ASHA.
