Stephanie Krause , ETC Chair
Excellence Through Classics ( ETC ) had an extraordinary year , driven by the unwavering dedication and immense passion of its committee volunteers , subcommittee chairs , and Executive Committee Leaders . We are immensely grateful for their commitment and enthusiasm .
Over the summer , ETC onboarded a record number of new volunteers . We took on 14 new volunteers this year - four serving on the Executive Committee , three serving as subcommittee chairs , and the remaining as committee volunteers across our 10 subcommittees . This year we also welcomed two new subcommittees to the ETC family - the Awards and Program Committee . The Awards Committee meets periodically throughout the year to review applications for ACL professional grants , Calliope Award , and Petrino Award . The Program Committee organizes all of ETC ' s Institute offerings in addition to virtual programming for teachers and students throughout the year

Owens , SCRIBO Chair ; Nicole Wellington , Resources Coordinator ; and Andrea Stehle , Ad Hoc ETC Live Chair .
