ACTFL is seeking volunteers to serve up to three-years on its new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. The work of this committee is an important way ACTFL acts on one of the five pillars of its strategic plan.
Purpose:
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee shall consider, advise, and make recommendations to the ACTFL Board that support the organization’s strategic goal of developing and promoting a diverse and inclusive language education community by working to break down barriers to access and opportunity.
The Committee will ensure that strategic objectives relating to diversity, equity and inclusion are incorporated into ACTFL’s governance structure, initiatives, awards, and other programs, products, and services.
ACTFL members and nonmembers are encouraged to apply by completing a short application by March 28. All applicants will be notified of decisions by April 15. Nonmembers who are accepted to participate and are unable to pay for membership will have their membership sponsored by ACTFL.
Volunteers should anticipate to commit approximately 5 hours per month to committee activities and responsibilities. All work will be conducted online.
