| July 15 Deadlines–Annual Affiliate Reports and Application for Affiliate of Excellence Award |
|
| Blow Your Horn: Affiliate presidents and executive directors, please complete the annual report for your affiliate before July 15. The electronic form is available on the NCTE website. A separate form is available for student affiliates to file their annual reports. Your affiliate benefits when you fill in these surveys because NCTE uses the data to plan events. Topics for the annual Affiliate Leadership Meeting often come from the annual reports. The Standing Committee on Affiliates often invites affiliate leaders who have reported successful and innovative solutions to present at regional meetings, the Affiliate Leadership Meeting, and the Annual Convention. The survey also helps keep your affiliate’s link to NCTE current. |

| Beat Your Drum: If you are proud of your affiliate’s accomplishments during this academic year, apply for the Affiliate Excellence Award before the July 15 deadline. These awards honor the members of affiliates that meet NCTE’s standards of excellence. |
