According to the ASHA Leader, Facebook has become a "powerful new way for professionals in communication sciences and disorders to network with one another, nurture students and young researchers, and raise public awareness of the discipline." Maggie McGary, assistant Web content developer at ASHA encourages professionals to put away their skepticism about Facebook's reputation as a "place for kids", saying "Definitely not true!" More than 10,000 members have joined ASHA's Facebook community in the past few months, 20% of whom are 35 years and older. ASHA president Kate Gottfred agrees, "Wherever there is a connection--through special interest divisions, publications, chat rooms, or boards and committees--you have a home in ASHA. Come claim that home."
