Newsletter No. 39 - December 2010
| From the President |
Dear APIBA Members,
We are rounding off a year with plenty of achievements for APIBA. We celebrated the SIGs’ 10th anniversary, APIBA represented FAAPI at the IATEFL 2010 Conference, we continued working for the recognition and professional development of graduate teachers by means of agreements with various organisations and APIBA 2010 events, offered scholarships and special benefits to APIBA Members and APIBA Best Graduating Average Award to three newly-graduates, sent APIBA SIGs Timetable and Calendar of Events monthly, improved communication with our Members and other teachers of English through APIBA Blog, Twitter, LinkedIn, our ever-growing e-group, and much more... You can read all details in this year’s AGM “Memoria 2010”, which also mentions the many people and institutions APIBA is grateful to for their constant support. The Executive Committee also continues working hard as we are updating and modernising APIBA’s administrative records as well as systematising institutional procedures.
Below you will find the highlights of the second semester and links to photos and more information. We would really appreciate your feedback, so as you read, please do leave comments and suggestions under the relevant posts in APIBA Blog or send them to difusion@apiba.org.ar. Many thanks!
We are especially looking forward to 2011 to celebrate our Association’s 40th Anniversary. We are already making plans for this landmark year.
On behalf of the Executive Committee, Happy New Year and enjoy your summer holidays!
