If you are a Brazilian English teacher, you may have heard about the country's largest association of teachers of English to speakers of other languages. If you haven't yet, this tour through their website will help you get familiar with it. We strongly recommend you become a member to take full advantage of all they have to offer.
Braz-Tesol (or BT) is a not-for-profit organization with a membership of over 2,000 professionals, an affiliate of TESOL International (US), IATEFL (UK) and a member of Southern Cone TESOL (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay). (definition from their own website)
Becoming a member is quite simple. Just click on Join Us!, choose from Individual member or Institutional member (in case of a school) and fill in the form. The membership is R$65 a year for an individual membership and R$235 for an institutional one (which gives the institution the right to take 4 members to events).
You get lots of benefits by joining this team, such as printed Newsletter; participation in events at reduced rates; access to exclusive areas of site, including Employment Section; regular communications; access to exclusive content of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs); discounts in courses, etc. You can also become a volunteer and work for BT.
