JALTCALL Member-at-large (June 2015- June 2016)
JALTCALL 2016 Conference Publicity Officer
JALTCALL Publicity Officer (elected June 2016)
Statement of Purpose:
I have attended numerous conferences in Japan and abroad, and often felt I would like to be involved in organising them. Earlier this year the current Director of Program, Steven Cornwell, asked if I was interested in contributing to JALT more and told me about his role. The more I listened, the more I realised it was the opportunity I was looking for. If elected as Director of Program, I would work hard with the conference team to organise conferences that make people want to come back for more; conferences that will inspire us, excite us, and help us to grow as educators. I would also work with chapters and SIGs to provide a wide variety of programs that could be attended throughout the year.

Statement of Purpose:
I will fill the responsibilities of the director position to the best of my abilities, and I am eager for this experience to further develop my skills and abilities.
I have attended and enjoyed numerous JALT conferences in the past, and I recognize that never holding an officer position could be a disadvantage. However, I hope that by joining the board of directors, I will be able to provide a fresh perspective voice for our membership.
While never having an officer position in JALT, my experience through leadership positions in other international organizations has taught me the importance of fostering solidarity and working effectively with others as well as completing responsibilities in a timely manner with accuracy. I believe that I can bring these qualities to the position of Director of Records and contribute proactively to the further development of JALT.

As a candidate for the Director of Treasury position, I would like to follow in the footsteps of Kevin Ryan who has been a mentor to me as the Treasurer at the CALL SIG and JALTCALL Conferences. I look forward to keeping the accounting books at JALT in fiscal health and hope to see it grow in the future for the future generations of JALT members.

Candidate for JALT Auditor
Joseph Tomei
Education:
MA Linguistics University of Oregon
Employment:
Professor, Kumamoto Gakuen University
JALT Related Experience:
Chapter president (Kumamoto chapter)
National Director of Membership
TLT column editor
Coordinator (THT SIG)
Member of the SCOEP committee (Standing Committee on Employment Practices)
Member of the Audit committee
Membership chair (Kagoshima chapter)
Currently Treasurer (THT SIG, NanKyu chapter)
Statement of Purpose:
The auditor position arose when JALT became an NPO in 1999 and in those years, dealt with questions of NPO status, procedures, etc. However, while the auditorโ€™s task is to make sure that JALT follows Japanese NPO regulations, questions that arise are now taken to people with expertise in Japanese law. So while the auditor still certifies JALT operates within Japanese NPO rules, the position is more a minister without portfolio, with no specific responsibilities, who organizes information, examines questions, and provides help. I hope to continue Aledaโ€™s work and help people, especially newcomers, understand JALTโ€™s challenging aspects. JALT is, like the rest of Japan, facing demographic challenges and I hope that I can help JALT face these challenges.

JALT members should be aware that the NEC has moved to an electronic system and has entirely discontinued the use of postcard ballots. Members who do not have computers or email accounts need to take the steps to receive the electronic ballot. The NEC does not accept responsibility for bounced mail. Members who have not received their electronic ballot should make sure that their current email is on file with their local chapter and should contact the NEC and provide a current email address.
