PR Log - Apr 09, 2013 - The SANS Inc. SCOLT Leadership Luncheon takes place this week in Birmingham, AL, as part of the annual Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT). This event is an opportunity to develop connections and foster collaboration among leaders of the 14 state associations in the SCOLT region. Members from ACTFL and SCOLT also participate in the program, which occurs on Thursday afternoon during the conference. The theme of the 2013 Leadership Luncheon is "It only takes a drop...the ripple effect."

The event features presentations from former SCOLT World Languages Teachers of the Year, Dr. Bill Rivers from JNCL/NCLIS and Alyssa Villarreal, World Languages Coordinator from the Memphis, TN, City Schools. Interspersed throughout the program will be opportunities for state association leaders to discuss critical issues facing the profession.

"The Leadership Luncheon provides leaders from across the region with a valuable networking opportunity. As we look to the future, SCOLT is hoping to leverage this event to provide even more ongoing leadership support beyond the annual conference setting," according to David Jahner, SCOLT Executive Director. "This event is sponsored by SANS Inc., and we are grateful to the company for its willingness to contribute so significantly to the profession and to SCOLT."
