(259).

2008 and year end 2009, while certified nonmembers decreased from 1,002 to 978. Nonmember
certificate holders constitute 7.6% of all certified audiologists at year end 2009 compared to 7.8% at

international affiliates are members of a racial minority (compared to 24.9% of the U.S. population
according to the 2000 Census), including 1.3% who have self identified as multiracial (compared to
2.4% of the U.S. population). Additionally, 3.7% identified their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino,
compared to 12.5% of the U.S. population.
v Age. Approximately 22.6% of ASHA members, nonmember certificate holders, and international affiliates
(specifically, 24.1% of audiologists, 22.0% of speech-language pathologists, and 62.0% of those with dual
