This award represents an acknowledgement and celebration of the efforts put forward by SLPs in our community that support the training of Oregon students. Named in honor of Kameron “Kami” Brief Beaulieu, whom we lost to a chronic condition in March of 2020, just as the pandemic locked down our community.
Kami served in Oregon for almost 20 years as an Assistant Professor at OHSU. She was a joyful and skilled clinician who was a leader, teacher, and served as the Membership Chair on the OSHA board. She made it her mission to dedicate her career to training and shaping the next generation of SLPs. She was passionate about getting to know and understand each of her students. Kami demonstrated her ability to be a cheerleader of students with a full on “YOU CAN DO THIS!!!” attitude. She loved doing the “good work” of being an SLP and shared this love with all who joined her on the journey.
Nominated and selected by graduate students, the awardees will receive a free year of membership to OSHA, as well as a waiver for registration fees for the following year’s OSHA conference (non-transferable). This award will be presented along with the other OSHA awards at the business luncheon at the Fall conference.
Please note that nominee must be an OSHA member in order to receive the award! It is also the intention that nominees are community-based supervisors, and not clinical faculty at the university programs.
