ChargeCreated by the TESOL Board of Directors in June 2006, the Global Professional Issues Committee (GPIC) serves as a forum for members outside the United States on professional-related issues, and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on ways in which TESOL can address global issues.
Activities and ResponsibilitiesTo fulfill its charge, the GPIC identifies, discusses, and develops recommended solutions for professional issues affecting the TESOL field outside the United States. In addition, the GPIC drafts, or supervises the drafting of, position statements and papers for Board review and approval on global issues.
QualificationsThe committee’s members should be geographically, ethnically, and linguistically diverse, as well as represent the diversity of interests and expertise of the TESOL membership. Each Committee member should demonstrate a commitment to serve as an active member of the Committee and be willing to address any or all global professional issues brought before the Committee. The intent is to ensure that the majority of members on the committee are natives of the country in which they live or work.
