Here is a special announcement for COFLT members from Natalie Stamper, COFLT Post-Secondary Representative:

Elections are coming up and we are seeking nominations for the following positions on the Board:  

Executive Secretary
Treasurer
Webmaster
K-8 Representatives (2)
9-12 Representatives (1)
Post-Secondary Representative (2)

The COFLT Board is comprised of 5 elected and 1 appointed officer, 8 elected at-large members (representing K-16), as well as representatives from our affiliate language organizations such as the ATJO, PNCFL, OATG, ODE, etc. We also have representatives from the retired language teacher community. All in all, our board represents all major languages taught in Oregon: including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese, and all levels from K-16.

My first year on the board has been a fascinating experience; from helping put on conferences to supporting world language programs and colleagues.  COFLT depends on volunteers to make professional development opportunities available in Oregon.  

Please consider helping out for two years.  The Board meets about 5 times a year and attends 2 conferences.  

You will find a list of present and continuing Board members here.

Please reply soon. May 17th is the deadline, if you would like to nominate yourself or someone else.
