Advocacy Note

Language Advocacy

SCOLT is a proud member of JNCL, the Joint National Committee on Languages. JNCL is our national advocacy organization, keeping abreast of funding and legislation issues related to language education and language professions. For 2023, the JNCL Language Advocacy Day will again be virtual, allowing SCOLT to “send” more representatives than usual, due to the reduced cost. The SCOLT Board will have several representatives in attendance, which means more congressional visits and a greater virtual presence on Capitol Hill, as each person attends meetings with their own Senate and House of Representative offices.
