Deadline Extended for Nominations to AACTE Board and Advisory Committees
As the academic year draws to a close and you reflect on your accomplishments and struggles, now is the perfect time to think about a leadership role with AACTE in the year ahead. Educator preparation is an essential element in revolutionizing education and combatting the divisive issues threatening our nation’s education systems. Now more than ever, your association needs committed, talented, and thoughtful leaders.
If you are ready to assume a leadership role in the national educator preparation community or know someone who is, AACTE is extending the nomination deadline to serve on the AACTE Board of Directors or a programmatic advisory committee to May 15.
AACTE is currently seeking applications from volunteers to stand for election as an at-large representative to the Board of Directors. There will be two openings for at-large representatives.
Additionally, AACTE is seeking volunteers to serve on the following programmatic advisory committees:
- Educator Diversity
- Global Diversity
- Government Relations and Advocacy
- Holmes Program
- Innovation and Technology
