It is with great pleasure (and pride!) that we congratulate Fulvia Valvasori, President of MLTAWA, for the award of Certificate of Merit by the Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Association (AFMLTA). The award is made in recognition of dedicated and effective contribution to the work of the AFMLTA and MLTAWA over an extended period and is a high achievement indeed. The award will be presented at the upcoming 20th AFMLTA National Conference in Melbourne (for which Fulvia has been working tirelessly in helping organise and promote!) and we look forward to sharing news from the proceedings there!
