duties of the aausc section heads

Language Section Heads are responsible for coordinating language sections and promoting membership in the Association. A term of office is two years.

In addition, Language Section Heads prepare a column for the AAUSC Newsletter, which normally comes out in the Spring and Fall of each year. The column should deal with issues of importance to the AAUSC members in the particular language section. Ideally, information, articles, questions, e.g., are elicited from the membership, but short of that, the Language Section Head must write an article on issues that he/she judges to be important to members of that language.

The Language Section Heads usually become the Nominating Committee to find candidates to run for the following election’s Section Heads as well as Vice-President.

Language Section Heads are asked to participate in the director/coordinator mentoring program by reading and evaluating applications from possible mentors and mentees in their language to help make good matches.
