AATSEEL NOMINATIONS, ELECTIONS AND AWARDS COMMITTEE

The Committee is seeking nominations for two AATSEEL Vice Presidents to be
elected in the spring of 1999 and to take office in January 2000 for
three-year, renewable terms.

Balanced representation is desirable: gender and region of the country will
be taken into consideration, as well as area of specialization. The
outgoing officers are Christina Bethin (Linguistics, SUNY-Stony Brook, New
York), and Kathleen Dillon (Polytechnic High School, Pasadena, California).

The Committee is also seeking nominations for AATSEEL Awards to be
presented in December at the 1999 Convention in Chicago, Illinois. There
are five categories:

1) Award for Excellence in Teaching at the Secondary Level
2) Award for Excellence in Teaching at the Post-Secondary Level
3) Malik Award for Service to AATSEEL
4) Award for Contribution to the Profession
5) Award for Outstanding Achievement in Scholarship

Please submit nominations for the two Vice Presidents and for the Awards as
soon as possible, and no later than 15 April 1999 to the Chair of the
Committee, Michael R. Katz (Past-President of AATSEEL), 209 Sunderland
