NNEST Caucus Transitions to an Interest Section

In June 2008, the TESOL Board of Directors voted to approve the NNEST Caucus' transition to become an interest section (IS). Members of the former NNEST Caucus will need to rejoin NNEST as an IS.

To join the new NNEST IS, go to My Communities on the TESOL Web site and select NNEST either as your primary or secondary IS.
