Announcing a New Executive Director

Claude lives and works in the Ottawa area. The decision to choose an Executive Director based in Ottawa was made in response to our recent 2015 Strategic Plan. As a national organization that has worked diligently in the past two years to cultivate stronger relationships with our federal government partners and other stakeholders, we recognized that an Executive Director with a presence in Ottawa would best support the organization in attaining its goals. 

The Calgary office and its staff will remain intact for the next while. We will keep you informed if and when the time comes to move the office to Ottawa.

Claude comes to us with an impressive portfolio. He has a strong legacy of collaborative work in the public, private, academia, and NGO sectors. He has clearly articulated what he considers the key performance indicators in an organization and how he plans to measure and manage those for TESL Canada. His resume and references also attest to his tremendous talents in financial management, marketing and public relations, and interpersonal relationships.

Together we can look forward to a bright future with TESL Canada under the capable direction to Claude Lloyd.

Kind Regards, 

Judy Sillito, 
President

Staff Change Notice at TESL Canada

Last November, TESL Canada unveiled a strategic plan that identified a goal to establish a strong presence in Ottawa. After careful deliberation and consultation with external advisors, the Board of Directors has taken the decision to move the Executive Director position to Ottawa. 

The Calgary office will remain intact for the foreseeable future and all the administrative duties relating to teacher certification, accreditation of teacher training programs, and membership will continue to be managed from the Calgary office, most likely until the end of 2016 and perhaps longer.
