There is good representation, I think, from a broad spectrum of our field. Unfortunately, however, there are very few adult learners who have participated so far. We need to redouble our efforts to include students and graduates. Can you help with this? To take the survey, go to: http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?LDMKBNPLXJWR5DGRT01VXF67 To read a selection of comments from those who have participated so far, go to: http://www.alri.org/namescomments.html The collection of comments shows how diverse and complex adult education is, how many different kinds of learning and learners are included. No name can both specifically include the diversity and yet be simple, short and appealing. We may have to settle on an imperfect name. If we are to have a strong system of adult education, comparable in resources to K-12 and higher education, we must work together under one umbrella. A small part of this process is choosing a name. Then we must work together to advocate for the resources to make this system comprehensive, effective, and one that adult learners agree serves them well. David J. Rosen NLA List Moderator
