President’s Message
There are a lot of events coming up in the next two months, aren’t there? Tokyo Chapter is holding a special workshop, “Reacting to the Past”, 11-12 May at Sophia University in Tokyo. That same weekend has the 4th Annual Shikoku JALT Conference, co-sponsored by East Shikoku JALT and Matsuyama JALT, which will be at Kagawa University in Takamatsu. On the next weekend the 12th Annual JALT PanSIG Conference, “From Many, One: Collaboration, Cooperation, and Community”, will be held at Nanzan University in Nagoya. Two weeks later, the CALL SIG will have its annual conference, from 31 May to 2 June, at Shinshu University (Matsumoto-shi, Nagano-ken). Needless to say, there are many other chapter and SIG events in May and June. The amount of energy that JALT members put into organizing and holding events is always inspiring. Please see the Events Calendar on jalt.org for more details of these and other upcoming events.
I would also like to bring your attention to JALT’s 1st Annual Ordinary General Meeting (OGM), which will be held 30 June, at Campus Plaza in Kyoto, 14:30–15:30. As before, we are making it possible to submit an absentee ballot for the OGM via <jalt.org>. Thus, by clicking a couple of buttons, you can vote on accepting our annual reports, such as the financial report. We really appreciate your support in this matter. Our constitution requires at least half of all JALT members to attend an OGM, in person or via having submitted an absentee ballot. Thus, to help us maintain our NPO status (which is of paramount importance for JALT as it helps make it possible for chapters and SIGs to put on the great programs that they do), please “click for JALT” after you get an email from us about the OGM absentee ballot. Thank you as always for your membership in JALT and your support of our activities, and I look forward to seeing you at a JALT event soon!
