What is the Arkansas Hearing Society?

AHS is an Arkansas Corporation which consists of five (5) duly elected Board of Directors and four (4) duly elected officers. One of the society's prime objectives is to offer continuing education for the dispensers of Arkansas with a purpose of benefiting both the dispensers and the hearing impaired population in out state. Throughout the past several decades, the Arkansas Hearing Society has set a state-wide standard for the dispensers to strive for and achieve. In 1967 it was AHS who first contacted the state legislators to enact state licensure laws which benefited both the dispensers and the hearing impaired public. AHS members are honored for their excellence in service to our state's hearing impaired with the Thomas A. LeBlanc.
