Our Leadership
In addition to the staff and board of directors, TESOL has seven Professional Councils and two Governance Committees made up of TESOL members. The Professional Councils provide professional expertise to help advance the association and the Governance Committees are responsible for executive functions, nominations, and monitoring finances. Members of these committees are elected.
