Interested in becoming or nominating someone from your state to represent Independent Liberal Art Institutions in AILACTE? Please contact Chandra Foote, cjf@niagara.edu

AILACTE is working to involve member institutions in discussions regarding state issues impacting teacher educator preparation programs. The position involves the following responsibilities:

• Provide information to AILACTE regarding contact information for private/independent institutions in their state

• Provide feedback to AILACTE regarding issues facing the private/independent institutions in their state

• Recruit new members in their state

• Maintain communication with the Regional Representative

• Attend the AILACTE Annual Meeting [or send a designee] and participate in the State Representatives Forum

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. As AILACTE institutions with teacher preparation programs, we must be in a position to be sitting at the table with the policy makers and the larger national organizations participating in the gathering instead of being on the menu.
