Once again it is election time for FLAVA as we go about the process of selecting a president-elect and a communications coordinator. Nominations and self-nominations have been submitted.  The Elections Committee has reviewed submissions and has now declared official candidates for the running.

Information about candidates for the two positions can be found by going here.  The information includes photos, bios, and candidate statements.  You have a month to review this information, and starting on Saturday, 02 October 2021, at 1:00 PM, ballots will be available for casting your votes.

Our polls will be open from 02 October 2021, until 1:00 PM on 08 October 2021.  If you are a current member of FLAVA you will receive a link to the ballots.  Only members of the organization may vote for its leadership.

If you are not a current member of FLAVA, yet on our mailing list, we encourage you to join.  Note that membership normally goes from fall conference to fall conference as it is included in the fall conference registration fee.

If you plan on attending the FLAVA fall conference in October 2021, register prior to 01 October and your membership will be activated for voting.

The Elections Committee will announce election results at the closing of the fall conference, on Saturday, 09 October 2021.

We encourage you to remain or become a member of FLAVA.  Over the course of the last few years, we have begun some significant initiatives for the benefit of world language educators’ professional growth.  By voting for the right leaders, we will be able to continue and build upon these same paths and discover even more ways to move the organization in a forward direction.

As always, our best to you.

Sincerely,

Dick Kuettner, President
FLAVA

Linda Fowler-Jones, Chair
Elections Committee
