Anela (Dutch Society for Applied Linguistics) is looking for a formal secretary as of January 1st, 2023. This paid secretary role consists of two parts. The secretary administers our member list, manages the inbox, sends out mailings including the quarterly newsletter and keeps track of the member payments.
