The Georgia State Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is an eight-member board consisting of one physician, three audiologists, three speech language pathologists, and a consumer member. The members are appointed by the Governor to "protect the public health, safety, and welfare and to protect the public from being misled by incompetent, unscrupulous, and unauthorized persons" (O.C.G.A. 43-44-2). The Board meets monthly to review applications for licensure and receive, investigate and adjudicate complaints against licensed speech language pathologists and audiologists.

In 2009, the spread of the H1N1 flu virus caused the World Health Organization to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6, the highest level. Georgia officials prepared for the H1N1 influenza campaign and the seasonal influenza campaign that occurred during fall and winter. While the H1N1 influenza campaign has ended, The Department of Community Health continues to build its pool of health professionals willing to serve as emergency response volunteers by signing up to assist with future campaigns (i.e. hurricane season).
