Nominee for Position of President
Dawn Lucovich
As Chapter President of both the largest chapter and smallest chapter, I have had a range of JALT experiences. I have identified several key areas that require action on the part of our officers and members: recruitment of new members, mentoring for new officers, and innovation in our ideas and actions. As an active researcher and presenter internationally, I have experienced initiatives that I would like to bring to and adapt for our own context as an international organization based in Japan.

Nominee for Position of Vice-president
Robert Chartrand
As a long-time Fukuoka JALT member, I have benefitted greatly from attending and presenting at local chapter meetings, CALL SIG conferences, PanSIG conferences, and national JALT conferences from Hokkaido to Okinawa. I enjoyed meeting people from the JALT community and working with them in different capacities. After having served for four years of the Board of Directors as Director of Treasury, I would like to use my experience to serve as Vice-President to support the President and assure continuity on the Board. Finally, I would like to ensure that JALT and the Central Office run smoothly in the future.

Nominee for Position of Director of Membership
Melodie Cook
Over the years, I have seen the ebb and flow of JALT membership and am pleased to know that through the efforts of all chapters and SIGs, membership has been on the increase. I would like to work with everyone to help continue this upward trend, at the same time working out creative solutions for keeping members in the organization as well as promoting JALT through new partnerships and expanding our membership base. I hope to promote and contribute to brain-storming ideas with chapters and SIGs with a view to increasing and maintaining membership in new ways so that we can help offer solutions to all chapters, big or small, which might be looking for new ways to increase or retain their members. I hope that I can bring my creative problem-solving abilities to the service of JALT and am honoured that many friends have recommended that I apply for this position.

Nominee for Position of Director of Program
Wayne Malcolm
The Director of Program is a high profile, intense and rewarding position to volunteer for, so with the support of all those that make up JALT, I would like to continue serving our community. If re-elected, I will carry out the functions of Director of Program as prescribed by the JALT Constitution, By-Laws, and Standing Rules.
After almost one full-term as Director of Program (one organized conference cycle), I feel I understand the essence of JALT more than ever. I know first-hand the main responsibility of the Director of Program โ organize the annual JALT conference. While overall I feel the 2019 conference was successful, there are still areas of conference planning I would like to improve upon, experiment with, and continue.
In particular, I would like to try and get conference themes ahead by one-year, search for newer venues, but also keep reliable ones, and continue to encourage volunteering on the conference team. I have more plans and ideas, and given another opportunity it is my intent to continue to represent JALTโs dynamic community of practice with a progressive mindset, while holding to what has kept JALT a valued member of Japanโs language education community.

Hello! I am Wayne Malcolm from Cornwall, New York in the United States. I have been living and working in Japan since September 2002. My immediate family and I live in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. I have taught in various sectors of Japanโs English language teaching industry. I currently teach in the area of college and university education.
I graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I also have a Masters of Management in International Management from University of Phoenix, as well as a Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership specializing in Curriculum and Instruction from the same university.
In March of 2007 I joined JALT as a member of the Akita Chapter. Since then I have held various posts within JALT; as a Chapter President, Chapter Program Chair, Chapter Treasurer, SIG Publicity Chair, and Business Manager. I am the current Director of Program. In these capacities I have been a continuous presence at Executive Board Meetings and within the select committees that do the business of JALT. Throughout my volunteer tenure I have worked with people from our SIGs, Chapters, Associate Members, Board of Directors, other appointed officers, and JALT Central Office.

Nominee for Public Relations
William (โBillโ) Pellowe
Itโs been just over a year since I started doing the job of Director of Public Relations. Iโve learned a lot, and I would like to continue to serve JALT in this capacity for at least the next two years. In my time so far, I have created several short, practical guides for SIGs and chapters about such things as posting announcements to the JALT website and creating Facebook events. Iโve improved our YouTube channelโs visibility. Iโve expanded our national PR coverage by promoting JALT calendar events as well as publications by our SIGs and chapters in JALTโs monthly newsletter and on our social media accounts. As a member of the board of directors, Iโve pushed for transparency in the advertisements appearing in JALT media, and I support the efforts to increase the diversity within our organization, its leadership, and among its conference speakers, as well as the efforts to create more family-friendly conferences.

Nominee for Director of Records
Kenn Gale
Being a member of JALT for several years has given me a deep passion and belief in what the organization stands for and what it brings to the teaching community of Japan. Since attending my first local meeting in Nagoya and then starting off as the coordinator for the Teaching Younger Learners SIG gave me insight into the operations of JALT and allowed me to see first-hand how the organization operates. Through those years of active participation, it was then I realized that I wanted to further my involvement and do more for this amazing organization. That passion is what has called me to where I am at today. Being a newer member to the Board of Directors, I feel this past two years has allowed me to learn the role and responsibilities necessary and make minor improvements to the current system. I look forward in my second term to further expand and develop the role of Director of Records. My background in organization management will hopefully give me key insight to finding new and improved ways to operate this role and maintain the records of JALT.

Nominee for Position of Director of Treasury
Michael Mielke
Many people have contributed their time and energy to make the accounting system so much clearer and easier to manage since I became the Treasurer for JALT Hokkaido. Kevin Cleary, Oana Cusen, Kevin Ryan, Robert Chartrand and of course Hideko Hayakawa in JCO have made JALT’s accounting system much more transparent, easier to manage, and accurate. My purpose for running for Director of Treasury is to provide continuity and build on the strong foundation that they have laid. My experience as a Treasurer, Treasurer Liaison, and FSC Chair, in addition to my close working relationships with both the current Director and JCO, has given me the background knowledge and experience that will help me in fulfilling my duties as the Director of Treasury.

Nominee for Position of Auditor
Steve Brown
It is important, I believe, for the Auditor not to have any particular agenda. If elected, it would be my role to maintain an objective stance in overseeing the activities of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, JALT Central Office and all Chapters and SIGs within NPO JALT. In seeking to ensure that the Constitution and Bylaws are adhered to, it would be my task to see that transparency and accountability are maintained within the organization.
I believe that my years of service within JALT, including four years as President, provide the background knowledge and experience to carry out this function. At the same time, having been away from national office for the last few years, I also feel that I would be sufficiently objective in dealing with any issues that arise.
I look forward to serving the membership of JALT again for the next two years.
