This committee was organized and is headed by adult learner leader (and former National Institute for Literacy fellow) Archie Willard. Between 35 and 40 adult learners from around the U.S. will attend that meeting, along with a half dozen adult education professionals. These learners will represent a broad mix of programs, geographic locations, and demographics (race, gender, age, etc.) The learners will discuss. . . . . . what the goals of a national adult learner organization should be, . . . who might participate in the organization, . . . what activities such an organization can provide for its members and for the adult education field, . . . how the organization should be structured and supported. The steering committee is now seeking funding from individuals and organizations around the country, to help defray some of the travel and room and board costs of those participating. The committee also hopes to be able to set aside some additional funds to serve as Òseed moneyÓ for whatever new organization might emerge from this meeting. The committee has put together a detailed plan for three stages of adult learner leadership activities. The Highlander meeting would constitute the first of those three stages. This plan is available on request. The nonprofit organization, Learning Partnerships, has agreed to serve as fiscal agent to manage funds donated for the Highlander meeting. If you or your organization are interested in supporting this meeting in even a small way, please send your tax-deductible donations to Learning Partnerships at the address below. Individuals are asked to consider donations in the range of $25 to $100, and organizations might consider gifts of between $500 and $1000. The steering committee of course welcomes donations of all sizes. Upon request, we can send you a letter acknowledging your donation, for tax-reporting purposes. On behalf of the steering committee which is organizing this meeting, I thank you for your support for adult learners and adult learning.
