DOL sees reauthorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Act this year and WIA next year as an opportunity to achieve a more effective fit among the programs. Other reauthorization issues posted include engaging business more effectively in Title I programs and boards, increasing state flexibility, and improving one-stops and training programs for youth and adults. See the discussion guide http://www.usworkforce.org/reauthorization/guide.asp LVA/Laubach To Be ProLiteracy America When Literacy Volunteers of America and Laubach Literacy International finalize their merger this year they'll have a new name: ProLiteracy America. The partners say it's unlikely that respective local programs will be required to merge, but some existing membership requirements may change. The intent of the new organization is to be inclusive and to offer membership to all organizations presently in either LVA or Laubach. A new accreditation process, developed by a joint task force of the two organizations, is expected to be in place by January 1, 2003, partners say.
