[NLA] NIFL Advisory Board Nominees

[Gullion, Christy]

As of today, all ten National Institute for Literacy Advisory Board nominees
have been sent from the White House to the Senate for confirmation.  The
Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee is now
responsible for confirming the board nominees.  To the best of my knowledge,
the HELP Committee has not yet scheduled a date for that hearing and/or
vote.

The nominees and proposed terms are as follows:

Carmel Borders of Kentucky, 3-year term
Douglas Carnine or Oregon, 3-year term
Blanc Enriquez of Texas, 3-year term
Carol Gambill of Tennessee, 3-year term
Mark Yudof of Minnesota, 2-year term
Jean Osborn of Illinois, 2-year term
Phyllis Hunter of Texas, 2-year term
Juan Olivarez of Michigan, 1-year term
William Hiller of Ohio, 1-year term
Robin Morris of Georgia, 1-year term

I have also confirmed with Senator Kennedy's office that after one of the
1-year terms expires, that position will be replaced by a field nominee.
Unfortunately, I don't have any information at this time about how this
field nomination process will work.
