ISSOTL Elections – Spring 2017 (Nominations Due Feb 22)

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 Board of Directors establishes new directions for this organization while managing ongoing activities and services of the Society.

The Board of Directors includes the President, President-elect, Past President, Secretary, Treasurer, 8 Regional Representatives (2 each from Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, and the United States), and 2 Student Representatives.

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

  • President Elect
  • Vice President—Asia Pacific (3 year term)
  • Vice President – Canada (3 year term)
  • Vice President – Europe (3 year term)
  • Student Representative (2 year term)

Officers of ISSOTL carry out responsibilities according to ISSOTL’s bylaws, participate in each ISSOTL conference (with their own funding) during their term of office, and help the Society increase and serve its membership. Terms of office are three years for Vice Presidents and one year for President Elect, who becomes President and Past President in subsequent years (for a total of three years of service). Those officers elected in spring 2017 will begin their terms on July 1, 2017.
