Board Members We are a volunteer group with full-time positions, but we love the German language and culture and believe that teachers supporting each other is a powerful tool for positive results and that is why we volunteer for the AATG at the Chapter level. Interested in joining a dynamic group? Join the AATG MD-DC Metro board! Contact the Chapter. |
