LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY

Morag Burke, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Dear ITA professionals,

The upcoming year will be full of change and growth for the whole TESOL community, and our International Teaching Assistants (ITA) Interest Section will be part of the evolution to a new format for the 2019 TESOL Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. As we progress through these changes, and as new information is shared with us, I look forward to learning about and embracing these changes to fully maximize the positives for our interest section. I have no doubt that our vibrant, active, and creative professional community will continue to thrive.

Enjoy your summer semester!

Best wishes,

Mo Burke

ITAIS Secretary/Chair-Elect
