[NLA] CBO's as Key Players

[Debbie Yoho]

(This message cross-posted to NIFL-Health)

Gail Spanenburg of CAAL commented that  "...(CBO's) are the key players
when it comes to 
providing service to adults at the lowest proficiency levels."
 
Gail, I'm interested in whether there is any evidence, research, etc. that
demonstrates the truth of this statement, much as I agree with it, or do
you think the idea is basically an opinion?
 
My Board is struggling with decisions about how to focus our advocacy
message, with increasing concern that while we seem to be the only real
voice (locally) inclusive of adults at the lowest proficiency levels, we
also want to frame our message in a broader way to dispel the idea that the
lowest-level learners are the ONLY ones we serve, or are the only ones we
are fit to serve.
