Proposed Changes to AACTE Governance: A Town Hall Meeting

In early 2023, the AACTE Board of Directors appointed a task force composed of current and former board members to study best practices in association governance and recommend ways that AACTE’s governance system can best enable the association to meet current and future challenges. The task force has recommended changes to AACTE’s bylaws that members will be asked to vote on in November. Join Gayle Hutchinson, chair of the AACTE Board Composition Task Force, and AACTE Senior Consultant Jacqueline King, to learn more about the proposed changes and ask any questions you may have.
