call for nomination for community language scholar

The CoLang Advisory Circle Membership Committee is now accepting nominations for the outgoing Community Language Scholar position. Nominations may be submitted via this Google form until November 1, 2025.

To qualify for membership on the Advisory Council, nominees:

·      Have participated in at least one Institute,

·      Have demonstrated commitment to the ideals of the institute (inclusivity, collaboration, and the desire to work with others to help preserve the world’s linguistic diversity),

·      Are willing to work as productive members of the Advisory Circle.

We suggest that nominees familiarize themselves with the CoLang Charter, which can be found by following this link. Self-nominations are welcome, as are nominations of past Advisory Circle members who are interested in serving on the Advisory Circle again.

We encourage community language scholars and people from outside of the US to apply for the open positions on the Circle, but nominations are not limited to these groups. If you have a serious interest in hosting a CoLang Institute in the future, you should nominate yourself or ask to be nominated.

Contact Membership Committee Aftab Ahmad (aahmdangel@gmail.com) or Naatosi Fish (naatosifish@gmail.com), with any questions.

Please share with all who may be interested.

Warm regards,

The CoLang Advisory Circle
