Network Task Forces

Network leadership teams phase out; network task forces phase in. Network leadership teams served for many years as advisors and workers for respective listservs, vetting nominees for awards, helping with the convocation, and the like. LEA is grateful for their service, which was tied to 3-year terms. Leadership teams will be replaced by various task forces, which will focus on completing a project or initiative within a specified time frame. For example, vetting nominees for the 2020 awards will be completed in two week’s time by the 2020 Awards Selection Task Force, composed of participants in EncourAGEnet. Several task forces are in planning stages for special projects identified with specific network interest areas.

Lutheran School Honor Society Task Force I (January 2020-May 2020)

Initiated a feasibility study and created a plan for establishing an honor society unique to Lutheran schools.

Lutheran School Honor Society Task Force II (April 2020 - indefinite)
