Letter From the Chair-Elect

Eleanor Pease, [email protected]  

As we enter a new year in the Christian Educators in TESOL Caucus, I will be at your service as chair. Karen Asenavage will move into the outgoing chair position, and Gena Bennett, who has kept us inspired with her topics for discussion on the e-list, will be the incoming chair-elect. Gena, welcome to the team.

A Look Back

Karen has done a superb job as our leader. Thank you, Karen.

Those of you who attended the San Antonio conference gave us excellent ideas for improving our caucus meeting and we hope you will recognize some of those changes when you attend the meeting in Tampa.

I have heard from Karen that the Christian Educators in TESOL Conference in Thailand, held in January, was a great success. This conference was part of our goal to increase our international connections.

A Look Ahead

Your leadership team is looking forward to meeting many of you in Tampa. Please stop by at the CETC booth, introduce yourselves, and stay to chat for a while. We will have sign-up sheets for eating meals together. 

Also, check out the sessions that will be conducted by CETC members. Most of these are listed in this newsletter.

As the new chair, I will continue to work on our goals and will gratefully receive your comments and suggestions.

Recently on the e-list someone quoted from the old hymn “In Christ There is No East or West.” When I reflected on that I thought, “That’s a description of CETC.” Let’s keep this theme in mind as we embark on our journey together in 2006-07.

See you in Tampa!
