The winner receives a $100 cash award, a commemorative plaque, lifetime membership in the Illinois Council, and complimentary registration for all ICTFL. conferences and one-day workshops for the following year.

Only complete applications will be considered. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY September 15.
A jury of ICTFL officers and other members will score the nominations. This process will be supervised by the ICTFL Awards Committee. The determination of the jury shall be final.

The Presidents Award is intended to express the appreciation of presidents past and present for members who have made “significant contributions to the structuring, stability, or image of the Illinois Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.” It is presented at the Fall Conference. The winner receives a $100 cash award, a commemorative plaque, lifetime membership in the Illinois Council, and complimentary registration for all I.C.T.F.L. conferences and one-day workshops for the following year.  In her role as ICTFL Treasurer, Margaret Swanson has earned the admiration and respect of many as evidenced by these recommendations:
 
“Margaret has contributed to the stability and growth of ICTFL through the organizational skills . . . She is truly a leader in her no-nonsense approach to financial issues, but she also has practical solutions to decisions faced by ICTFL.”   -  ICTFL Executive Director, Leann Wilcoxen
 
“Margaret Swanson has served as ICTFL’s Treasurer for several years.  Her integrity, attention to minute detail, responsibility, accuracy and above all dependability are qualities that an ideal treasurer would possess.  Margaret fulfills her duties with diligence, grace and humility.”  -  ICTFL President, Linda Egnatz
 
“In addition to her regular duties, Margaret has focused on her own professional development in this role.  She has improved her skills set, sought counsel from professionals, and found technical solutions that support her work. . . . I also laud Margaret for her ability to see the practical side of the organization from a business perspective and still support the calculated risk-taking that will allow the organization to grow.”  -  Todd Bowen, past ICTFL President and current Professional Issues Chair
