I saw it in the Korean Herald under the foreigner section.
They are now voting for their president.
They are up to 800 members.
Who are you voting for? |

Here's the link. ATEK can do a lot of good for foreign teachers and the overall industry. |
I think you mean could as in possibility. Like if you put a little hat on a snowball it lasts longer in Hell. From what I've seen so far they haven't shown the judgment which would indicate that they have the ability to do good.

of 2.6% of the teaching population.

| The president will serve for one year, during which he or she will be the public face of the organization, Thomas said. |
What happens if his visa doesn't get renewed?
That'll certainly be a blow to the organization if their president can't finish his term.

Which is good, because that would violate his visa if he or she is on an E2. As we all know immigration is pretty leery even about volunteer work. I hope the president hopefuls have secured the necessary permission. |
