Our Committee

The WATESOL committee consists of volunteers from a range of TESOL sectors who represent the needs of our members.

It is governed by an elected Executive Committee which includes the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and general committee members.

The Committee meets in person six times a year to discuss the association’s activities including advocacy, publications and professional learning, and make common decisions aimed at the association’s further progress.
