The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning — a growing international organization dedicated to the scholarship of teaching and learning — needs leaders who are original thinkers, hard workers, and esteemed colleagues in the profession. ISSOTL’s officers establish new directions for this organization while managing ongoing activities and services of the Society.

The ISSOTL Leadership and Elections Committee welcomes suggestions for nominees for the following positions:

Officers of ISSOTL carry out responsibilities according to ISSOTL’s bylaws (available at www.issotl.com), participate in each ISSOTL conference (with their own funding) during their term of office, and help the Society increase and serve its membership.
