Dr. Beeman has been an active member of SDSLHA since 2006, when she moved to Yankton and began practicing audiology in the community. Over the years, she has contributed to the organization through speaking engagements, educational presentations, and assisting with convention planning and coordination.

As Vice President of Audiology, Dr. Beeman participates in monthly board meetings where members review national and state issues impacting the profession. These include potential licensing updates, billing and coding changes, and ongoing advocacy efforts. She also dedicates several days each year to organizing and supporting the association’s annual convention held in October.
