<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">I also appreciated Tom's list of literacy leadership organizations. I want to add VALUE, the national adult learners organization. I believe they are poised to offer our field a new and vital kind of leadership, the voice of adult learners on how we can improve recruitment, retention, and learning. They can also help us address diversity issues--their board is effortlessly multicultural and multiracial and full of women! I hope all list readers will become members of VALUE, and stay informed on how VALUE can help us foster learner leadership and better literacy learning experiences. Debby D'Amico <BR>
