Interested in becoming or nominating someone from your state to represent Independent Liberal Art Institutions in AILACTE? Please contact your Regional Representative as listed above.
AILACTE is working to involve member institutions in discussions regarding state issues impacting teacher educator preparation programs. The specific responsibilities of the State Representative are listed below.
If you accept this invitation, you will receive a reduced registration fee for the annual meeting. The AILACTE Executive Committee views the position of State Representatives as a way to become involved in AILACTE and to allow state member and potential member institutions' voices to be heard as a part of a larger nationally unified organization. AILACTE provides smaller institutions a unique and powerful way to gain representation at the national level. Through AILACTE, we have a collective/collaborative seat at the table in the national level policy discussions that few independent liberal arts institutions can afford individually. In this time of fluid reform, the nation desperately needs to hear from institutions like yours! Let me encourage you to get involved...
