ZoomAround: Local/State ELP Communities

Tuesday, November 12th,

2:00-3:00 PM ET

join EnglishUSA colleagues to brainstorm how city and/or state-based consortia of English language programs can benefit from virtual and in-person meet-ups as well as potential collaborative projects. Members from PA, MA and FL will share how their groups were formed and how they function. EnglishUSA can be a resource to helping get a group together as well.

This is the opportunity to learn more broadly about the activities and Board of EnglishUSA. There will be updates on finances, membership, events, advocacy, etc. Also, if you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities (task forces, board service, etc.), we will have time for questions & discussion.

Member Referral Form

Board service can be extremely rewarding. If you would like to be considered for a position on the board, please submit a nomination by December 13, 2024.
