Anne Poodiack

Greetings!  I am the vice president of meetings, education, and strategic partnerships and I work with a talented and committed team of individuals responsible for bringing dynamic, insightful, and relevant education to those in the audiology and hearing health-care profession. Our objective is to be your one-stop-resource for the latest information, data, and research to help you grow professionally and better serve your patients.

I manage the strategy, planning, and execution of our AAA Annual Conference, which hosts thousands of attendees each year. I also oversee our robust series of webinars and online learning courses that not only keep members up to date but provides them with the opportunity to earn critical CEUs.  In a nutshell, our portfolio offers our members the chance to hear from top experts, share best practices, learn the latest strategies and research, participate in hands-on training, and network with their peers.

I am proud to be a 20+ year veteran of the meetings and events industry (spending the majority of my time with membership organizations) and have had the privilege of bringing education to life through a variety of in-person and virtual experiences.  I have a strong background in event strategy, program development and management, volunteer committee coordination, logistics, and onsite execution for events ranging from 50 to 4,000 persons and an expo hall with 350 booths.

I joined the Academy in August 2021 and am thrilled to have the opportunity to help our members make a positive impact in their patient’s lives.
