ISSOTL 2024 Election

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 representatives establish new directions for this organization while managing ongoing activities and services of the Society.

The ISSOTL Recognition Committee welcomes suggestions for nominees, including self-nominations, to roles on the ISSOTL Board for the following positions:

• President-Elect
• USA Vice President
• Student Vice President
• Treasurer-Elect (*This role is recommended for US citizens due to the complex nature of the banking system.)

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

Terms of office are as follows:

• Three years for Vice Presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary
• Two years for Student Vice-Presidents
• One year for President Elect, who becomes President and Past President in subsequent years (for a total of three years of service).
