>Subject: Announcement of new Treasurer and President-Elect of IALLT
>Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 18:35:45 -0600
First of all want to thank Thomas for taking over the task of moderating LLTI
while Anthony is away.
Secondly, I am very pleased to announce that the next Treasurer of IALLT will
be Kristy Britt of the University of South Alabama in Mobile and that the
President-Elect of IALLT will be Harold Hendricks of Brigham Young University!
Most of you likely know Kristy. She was one of the "triumverate" who helped
IALLT in Atlanta (2009) be such a successful conference. Not only is she from
Southern Alabama but she has a Master's from the University of Calfornia at
Santa Barbara. She certainly likes the ocean! Our current treasurer and
legendary curmudgeon, Ron Balko, is already planning on training her to say
"NO" to any request for money. Knowing, Kristy, I'm sure she's already
listening...
Most of you likely know Harold, too, but for new members, let me say that
Harold will be a great President-Elect and eventual President (starting in
2013). Harold has been a member of IALLT almost as long as there has been an
IALLT. He hosted the last FLEAT several years ago (joint meeting between IALLT
and the Language and Educational Technology [Association of Japan]). He has
done a wonderful job as Conference Advisor (helping find conference sites,
visiting possible host sites, and making recommendations on their selection)
for the past several years.
And hmm....since Harold will be President in 2015, which is IALLT's 50th
Anniversary maybe this conference should be a FLEAT, in, say, Hawaii and since
BYU has a campus there...?
Very best to all, virtual hugs, and live hugs in Irvine in June!
P.S. I'll be contacting the Board and Council for nominations for awards.
However, if any of you would like to send me nominations for the "up and
coming" newer members who have shown promise in leadership for IALLT (Henderson
Award) or publications (Sheppard Award), please send them on. Also if there
are any members retiring this year who should deserve the Liftetime Service
Award, I need to know that, too. Oh, the call is still out for the Showcase
Award.
P.P.S. The new IALLT web site got a nice note on page 60 of the current issue
of ACTFL's "The Language Educator".
P.P.P.S. For those of you who notice that the IALLT Board, as of June, will
have three of six members from Alabama and wonder if Alabama will be taking
over IALLT? Answer is, it already has. However, since Stacey is an Auburn fan
and Kristy is a U. of Alabama (as well U. of S. AL) fan, I get to moderate
since I'm a Samford fan only.
