Invitation from
 Carol Jago

Dear Affiliate Leader,

Your affiliate is invited to send up to four representatives to the 2008 Affiliate Leadership Meeting, scheduled for June 22 – 24, 2008 (Sunday through Tuesday) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Join leaders from affiliates in Regions 2, 4, 5, and 6, NCTE leaders of color and  professional development consultants, NCTE Vice President Carol Jago, members of the NCTE Standing Committee on Affiliates (SCOA), and members of the NCTE staff to share expertise and find answers to the question: How can affiliate leaders  capitalize on 21st century literacies to build capacity, reenergize membership, and rethink our work? During the retreat affiliate leaders will

• learn about ways to rethink the work of their affiliates and reenergize their affiliate boards and memberships.
• share affiliate best practices.
• learn about NCTE initiatives and resources and how they and their affiliates can take advantage of these.
• work side-by-side with NCTE leaders of color and professional development consultants.
• establish an ongoing network of colleagues.
• develop a 21st century plan of action to take back to their affiliates.

The work we do at this meeting sets the stage for your affiliate’s growth as a 21st century organization and its impact as an organization working to improve the teaching and learning of the English language arts.  Please begin now to consult with your executive board to select your delegates to the meeting.

Registration forms are due May 2, 2008. Please click here for complete information about the meeting and to obtain your registration form.

My hope is that at least two representatives from your affiliate will be able to join us in Milwaukee.

Feel free to call contact me or Jodi Mahoney if you would like further information (1-800-369-6283, ext. 3633, or e-mail at affsec@ncte.org).
