ACTFL is proud to recognize its charter members. These individuals joined ACTFL as it began promoting foreign language learning in the United States. We all owe a debt of gratitude to them for their leadership and vision in this important mission that still continues today. ACTFL is still the only U.S. national organization representing all languages and levels in the foreign language profession. We extend a heartfelt "thank you" to these individuals and to everyone who has helped ACTFL along the way.
