[Abesoutheast] Student Leadership Activity FY08

[Sheridan, Nancy]

MassAAL Advocacy/Media Training for FY08

Thank you to all that have participated in the highly successful "Adult
Literacy Awareness Day" at the Massachusetts State House.  The turnout
for the State House event last spring was no less than spectacular.  It
was said to be the largest event for the field of adult literacy ever in
the state of Massachusetts.  That was a demonstration of your
understanding of the importance of this work and adult learners being
involved. The success of that day was due in part to the MassAAL
Advocacy Trainings that informed and prepared adult learners for that
event.  

 

Please consider having your program/staff/students participate in
student leadership activity this year.... 

 

Here is information about the first trainings to prepare adult learners
for FY08's State House event "Adult Literacy Awareness Day." The
trainings will include a continental breakfast, information on student
leadership/MassAAL, advocacy & media training, role-play and lunch will
be provided.  In addition, there will be a preliminary trip to the State
House in preparation for the big day.  Adult learner leaders and
accompanying practitioners are encouraged to notify your local
legislators of your visit on that day.
