IT'S ELECTION YEAR--FOR KWLA!

In order to keep our organization running and supporting World Language teachers and learners across Kentucky, we are looking for a few good board members! Email [email protected] if you are interested.

๐„๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐š๐ฅ: ๐๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ-๐„๐ฅ๐ž๐œ๐ญ
This is a 6-year commitment (2 years Pres Elect, 2 years President, 2 years Past-Pres). The President-Elect is a member of the Executive Board and assists the President with organization management and event planning. Previous KWLA board experience preferred, but we'll happily train you!

๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐ž๐ž๐: ๐“๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž๐ซ (we have a back-up plan, but no current candidates)
This is a 2-year commitment, but re-election is possible. The treasurer pays the bills, keeps detailed financial reports, deposits checks, contacts individuals about unpaid invoices, files tax documents (minimal and easy!), and prepares the annual budget. Preferred: prior experience with budget documents and records; located near Lexington, as that is the mailbox location. Note: This role will work closely with the past-president (Beck) throughout the term, as KWLA is looking into various community grants and fundraising opportunities

๐’๐ž๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ (there is already one candidate)
This is a 2-year commitment, but re-election is possible. The secretary attends all board meetings, takes minutes, communicates with the board, sends agendas, assists with member-management, and helps with communications. No previous experience necessary.

๐‘๐ž๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‘๐ž๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ (MANY are vacant; all are open to voting)
This is the lowest lift of all KWLA roles...but it's also essential! This is a 2-year commitment, but re-election is possible. Regional reps attend KWLA board meetings, provide ideas, serve on at least one committee, try to gather information on the programs/teachers in their area, and share any known local needs with KWLA. Regions mostly align with Kentucky's Educational Cooperatives, with a few additions: WKEC (vacant), GRREC (vacant), OVEC, JCPS, Jefferson County Private Schools, NKEC (vacant), CKEC, Fayette County Private, KVEC, KDEC, SESC (vacant).

Want to connect with Kentucky educators who are passionate about language learning, global competency, and preparing students for the future? Here are 3 great reasons to sponsor or exhibit at the 2026 KWLA Conference:

1๏ธโƒฃ Reach your audience. Connect directly with world language educators, department leaders, and other education professionals from across Kentucky (and beyond!)

2๏ธโƒฃ Show what you offer. Put your products, programs, services, or opportunities in front of educators who are actively looking for resources to strengthen their classrooms and programs.

3๏ธโƒฃ Support language education in Kentucky. Your partnership helps KWLA provide professional learning, networking, and resources for educatorsโ€”and demonstrates your organizationโ€™s commitment to multilingualism and global learning.
