Executive Committee (EC)
The Learning Assistant Alliance (LAA) Executive Committee (EC) is the governing body of the Learning Assistant Alliance, affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder, to serve the larger LAA membership on matters affecting the entire Alliance as well as growth areas for the LAA community at large.
The Executive Committee focuses its work within three broad areas:
- Professional Development: Organizing and supporting the running of site visits, the eSeries repository of workshops, the International Conference and Regional LA Workshops;
- Resources: Development and dissemination of resources that support building, growing, sustaining, and assessing LA programs;
- Communications: Ensuring the development and maintenance of a community of members who support institutions regionally and nationally and support a community of members and programs through connections and communication between the international network of emerging and existing LA Programs.
LAgents
An “LAgent” is an LA Program expert, often a faculty or associated staff member of an institution with experience in the LA Model. LAgents have served as workshop facilitators, presented at conferences about the LA Model, been part of collaborative grant projects related to LAs, and served as advisors and mentors for community members just starting an LA program. The LAA has LAgents from different disciplines and different types of institutions, helping to support the diversity of the LAA community.
