LEADERSHIP UPDATES

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Michelle E. Benegas, Hamline University, Saint Paul, Minnesota, US


Dear Colleagues,

I’m thrilled to share with you this latest edition of the TESOL TEIS newsletter. I’d also like to congratulate our very own Kate Reynolds on her election to the TESOL Board of Directors. Kate currently holds the position of chair-elect of the TEIS. In light of this news, our current chair elect-elect, James Whiting, will assume the role of chair of the TEIS next year. Elections for new positions on the TEIS board, including the chair elect-elect and chair elect, will take place in February.

I look forward to seeing you at the 2022 TESOL Convention in Pittsburgh.

Michelle Benegas
