I have been serving Argentina TESOL (ARTESOL) since
2001. In the course of the years I worked my way up from member of the
board to president of the association, serving in this position from
March 2006 to May 2010. I currently serve as ARTESOL vice president.
During these years I have also worked on the online publication of
ARTESOL Newsletter, then on ARTESOLESP E-journal as member of the
editorial board.
As a university teacher and researcher, I have been teaching
and doing research on ESP at the School of Philosophy and Letters,
Universidad de Buenos Aires, for over 20 years and teaching EFL at
Programa para Adultos (Special Program for Adults) at the Extension
Secretary, Universidad de Buenos Aires. In both positions dealing with
biographical diversity has always been one of its main challenges. So
completing TESOL Leadership Certificate Program gave me the opportunity
of reflecting on matters related to management of diversity, problem
solving, and conflict resolution.
Serving as member A of the Affiliate Leadership Council, my
goal is to commit to the activities the position requires and to work on
guiding affiliates to consider their mission and vision as TESOL
Affiliates, in this way reaffirming the liaison between TESOL and TESOL
Affiliates with a clear focus on service and ability to meet
objectives. |
