        <description><![CDATA[Youth For Understanding USA (YFU) is one of the world\'s oldest, largest, and most respected international exchange organizations.  YFU oversees global exchange programs that prepare young people for their responsibilities and opportunities in a changing, interdependent world. 
 
In June of 2008, Youth For Understanding USA will conduct two short orientations for US high school students who will be spending the summer in Japan.  We are looking for several qualified candidates to serve as Japanese Culture and Language Teaches at these orientations.  The Culture and Language Teachers will teach YFU’s Japanese Culture and language curriculum and assist with non-classroom responsibilities as needed.  Culture and Language Teachers play a huge role in helping prepare students for their upcoming study abroad experience in Japan, both culturally and linguistically.
 
This is a paid contract position that will last from June 6-16.  Additionally, YFU will pay for travel expenses to and from the orientation site in San Jose, California, as well as all room and board while on program.  The application deadline for this position is Friday, April 11th but hiring decisions will be made on a rolling basis, so applicants are encouraged to apply earlier.

        <description><![CDATA[I would like to withdraw my candidacy as VP as I realized that I have a lot on my plate and would like to be involved when I have the potential to dedicate a better amount of my time to the association.  I think that JETAANY has grown tremendously and I am very proud to be a part of it.  I would like to help with future events as much as possible so please feel free to reach out to me whenever you need help.  I would like to plan a few Nihongo Dake dinners and am scouting out new and interesting places where we could interact with some natives.

Thank you for your time and I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Anne Koller]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As the webmaster of JETAANY.org, I felt it necessary to respond to a comment made by Brett Buzzini.  I did not edit Megan Miller\'s platform online.  Any JETAANY officer with a login can make changes themselves.  In the interest of fairness, if any non-incumbent candidates would like to make edits to their platforms, I would be happy to make those changes for them.
