Background

The Washington State Coalition for International Education is an affiliation of individuals and organizations who are committed to preparing all students for today's interconnected world. The Coalition was formed in Spring, 2003, after Washington state sent a State Team to the States Institute for International Education in the Schools, held in Washington, DC in November, 2002.

The Coalition is a true "flat world" organization -- no bricks, nor mortar, just a website, email lists, and lots of volunteers willing to do their part to promote our belief that we Americans need to learn about the world with the world. We have been able to carry out a number of innovative projects, including organizing three International Education Summits, with the support of the Asia Society and Longview Foundation, which have awarded five State Innovations Grants to the Coalition (2003-2007). See About the Coalition > Projects for details.

Because the Coalition is not a formalized organization, we have depended on the support of other non-profit organizations to serve as fiscal agent for the grants. Many thanks to the Alliance for Education, Associates in Cultural Exchange, the World Affairs Council, and the International Trade Education Foundation for their support over the years.

The Coalition is now at a turning point. Shall we continue (can we continue?) as an informal organization doing what we can when we can, or would it benefit the community for the Coalition to take on a formal structure, in particular, to file to become a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization? What do you think?
