WELCOME THE MEMBERS OF THE NEW AFFILIATE NETWORK PROFESSIONAL COUNCIL

 This month the Affiliate Leadership Council will transition to become the Affiliate Network Professional Council (ANPC). This shift is the result of a larger governance review undertaken by TESOL International Association. Past President Dudley Reynolds addresses the history of the governance review in a January 2017 blog post. More directly addressing the changes affecting affiliates, TESOL President Ester de Jong and Executive Director Chris Powers hosted a November 2017 virtual town hall to discuss the newly approved Affiliate Network Policy, under which the Affiliate Network Professional Council was created. You can view the town hall on YouTube.

The ANPC will differ from the ALC in that it will have a broader role to collaborate with and advise staff and the Board in support of the Affiliate Network. While the ANPC may have some of the same duties and activities as the ALC, there will be opportunities to do much more.

Please welcome the members of the 2018 Affiliate Network Professional Council.
