Dear Members of the TBLC,
Deadline Reminder: March 15th, 2015.
It's time once again to begin thinking about selection of those to serve on the Steering Committee of the Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC). This is the governing body that determines the direction of the TBLC and all of our various programs and activities. Members of the Steering Committee are expected to be an advocate for and bring fresh ideas to the organization. Meeting obligations include monthly conference calls and a face-to-face meeting at the annual conference. Additional business may be conducted through e-mail.
This spring we have two positions that needs to be filled by election, a 3-year term for a Member-At-Large in K-12 education (2015-2018), and a 2-year term for a President Elect (2015-2017). LaTonya Amboree currently holds the MAL K-12 position, and is eligible for one more term. The "job description" for these positions may be found in the TBLC bylaws posted at:http://www.teambasedlearning.org/Default.aspx?pageId=1033379
This message is a call to our membership for those who wish to be considered as candidates for these positions.
Self-nominations are welcome, or you may nominate a colleague with their permission. Nominees should submit a paragraph (300 word limit) that briefly describes:
* your use of TBL in your teaching activities over the last five years,
* your past involvement in TBLC activities, and
* why you wish to serve on the Steering Committee or your goals for the organization.
Please submit your nomination via e-mail to Brandon Kounse at bkounse@tblcadmin.org.
We look forward to seeing many of you in St. Petersburg!
Best regards,
Wayne T. McCormack, Ph.D.
President, Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC)

Updates from the TBLC Membership Committee
Dear Colleagues,
We appreciate your enthusiasm and commitment to the Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC), and thank you for your support as an Institutional Member. Research to establish the credibility of TBL as an evidence-based strategy has grown exponentially. TBLC members are looking for more ways to engage in research and partnerships to better understand this teaching strategy and the impact it has on learning.
TBLC membership dues allow us to continue developing and sharing TBL best practices, instruct large number of educators about the TBL process, support sharing of TBL resources and networking of TBL users within and across different disciplines, accredit TBL trainers to further promote and support this method of education, and fund research projects about TBL. In order to finance increased research and to ensure the continuing viability of the TBLC the membership fees have been reviewed, and we have determined that the unlimited institutional membership category is not sustainable. From the start of 2015, the new TBLC Member fee structure will be as follows:
Individual 1 year $ 75
Individual 2 year $130
Individual 3 year $180
Institutional 1 year $300 (up to 5 named members)
We look forward to your continuing support for the TBLC and for your faculty who are using TBL in their teaching and educational research. We ask you to encourage more of your faculty and staff to join the TBLC in 2015, whether via individual or institutional membership. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Michele Clark, RN, PhD Wayne T. McCormack, PhD
