GET INVOLVED Join A Provincial Committee 

Deadline for submissions is June 24.

Are you a knowledgeable, interested and committed member of your Association? President Lily Cole has established a committee structure for the 2011-13 school years to assist the Provincial Executive Council in conducting the business of the Association. These committees, chaired by members of the Provincial Executive, prepare recommendations to Executive on a wide range of issues which affect both Association policy and action. The participation of teachers as members of the committees is essential in providing a link between the Executive and the membership of the Association.

Committees will meet approximately four times per year. Meetings are usually held after school hours; some may be held via teleconferencing. From time to time weekend meetings may be required. Teachers are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses for travel, meals and child care as per NLTA policy.

You are asked to consider volunteering to serve as a member of a committee that is of interest to you. Committee members are usually drawn from the same geographic location (within 90 km) as the chairperson's school. With the permission of Executive, one committee member may be chosen from outside the geographic location provided that expenses incurred are kept within reasonable limits. Committee members are chosen by the chairperson early in September of each year. All applicants will be informed of the status of their application at that time.

Every effort will be made to have equal representation of males and females and to ensure generational equity on committees. Depending on the terms of reference of the committee, every effort will also be made to include teachers with responsibilities in various areas of the teaching profession.

If you are interested in becoming a committee member, please fill out the form below. The deadline is June 24.
