The Board of Directors is the governing body of the Northeast Conference. Each year, three new directors are elected by the NECTFL Advisory Council to a four-year term. The board meets five times per year to steward the mission and vision and to provide service and guidance to the profession.
The board is made up of twelve elected directors and three officers: the conference chair, the immediate past chair, and the vice chair. Each year, a new vice chair is selected from the three “graduating” directors in the fourth year of their term.
Each summer, the NECTFL Nominating Committee solicits the Advisory Council members for potential board nominations. The Nominating Committee selects a slate of three candidates, which is then presented to the full board for its approval. Once approved by the board, this slate is voted upon by the members of the Advisory Council.
The Northeast Conference Board of Directors announces the search for two editors:
One (1): for the Editor of the NECTFL Review, the academic, peer-reviewed journal published by the Northeast Conference twice a year. Since 2000, the NECTFL Review has published articles of interest to instructors, researchers, and administrators at all educational levels on theory, research, and classroom practice in language teaching. We encourage both scholarly articles that present original research, as well as original articles, focused on classroom practices and experiences. All articles, including those commissioned by the editors or those solicited for special issues, undergo a blind review by outside reviewers/readers. The publication of the NECTFL Review is a collaborative effort involving the Editor, The Language Classroom Editor, Editorial Board, and the NECTFL Board of Directors. The Editor works directly with the editorial board and guides manuscript revisions and final publication.
One (1): for the Editor of “The Language Classroom” section of the NECTFL Review. This is a new section of the journal features shorter articles (8+ pages/1,500–2,500 words) focused on classroom practices and experiences. We invite submissions from language educators at all levels that address topics such as: classroom instruction, curriculum design, assessment & feedback, leadership and advocacy, planning and program design, technology integration, student experiences, or other similar topics.
The journal is open-access and available on the website of the Northeast Conference. The Board of Directors provides a stipend and publication material support to the journal editors.
The Northeast Conference Board of Directors would like to thank Robert (Bob) Terry for his two decade-long dedication to the journal. As Bob retires from this position, the Board recognizes his distinguished service; tireless effort and consistent professionalism in stewarding the journal forward into the digital age, as well as the move into the realm of Open Access. A tremendous hurrah! – to Bob from the entire Board. A special thanks, also to Catherine Ritz, who served as inaugural editor of “The Language Classroom” section as the journal transitioned from reviewing print materials to this new section focused on current issues and developments in classroom instruction. Catherine led her editorial team into this new phase of the journal’s development and the Board is extremely appreciative of this effort and wishes her the best in her future endeavors.
