During the four English Chairs meetings, we will pursue topics, which are of importance and interest to the group. We select both timely topics and age-old concerns. The agendas are shaped by what the participants find relevant and useful. The meetings are a great opportunity to share wonderful ideas, improve programs, and hear how different schools approach various issues. We exchange valuable information and ideas not only at these meetings but also through our listserv and our wiki.
