The LAGB's Education Commttee has recently launched a number of projects, so we've decided that it's time to expand our numbers and we're inviting offers for places. The posts are listed on http://lagb-education.org/committee-members, but in brief we're looking for:

• one LAGB representative on CLIE for next summer
• a conference coordinator
• a project manager
• a teacher representative

In each case, we're looking for someone who is:

• a member of the LAGB, or is willing to become one - it's very cheap: http://www.lagb.org.uk/new-subscriptions, and in special cases we may be able to negotiate special rates.
• willing and able to devote some time to the EC job - say, an hour a week, though probably distributed unevenly.
• informed (to some extent) about recent and current developments in the UK's language education.
• able to work independently and to take initiative, but to accept guidance from the rest of the committee.

There are no face-to-face meetings (except serendipitously when a group of us happen to be attending a conference or other meeting), but the CLIE rep will be expected to attend CLIE meetings (three a year) and the conference coordinator will be expected to attend the meetings they organise, with expenses paid.

To apply, please email me with a brief personal statement (including a website if you have one), saying which role or roles you're applying for and why you think you have the qualities we're looking for.

Best wishes, Dick Hudson
