Annual Business Meeting

KOTESOL's Annual Business Meeting (ABM) for 2021 will be held on Sunday, October 17, starting at 3 p.m. All members are welcome to attend! The meeting will include reports on KOTESOL's past year, voting on proposed amendments to the KOTESOL constitution and bylaws, and announcement of election results. Following the ABM, the newly elected president may also convene a short meeting of the new National Council to confirm committee chairs for the coming year.
