Dear Colleagues:

Please join us in the following session at this year's COABE National 
Conference
in Houston, Texas:

Professional Development From Your "Inbox": Making the Most of National 
Discussion Lists
Saturday, 9:45 - 11:00
Presented by NIFL Discussion List Moderators:
Jackie Taylor, Adult Literacy Professional Development List
Marie Cora, Assessment List
Daphne Greenberg, Women & Literacy List

National online discussion lists provide an opportunity for ongoing 
professional development with colleagues, researchers, 
nationally-recognized experts and leaders in the field. Presenters will 
provide information regarding the National Institute for Literacy's 
discussion lists, emerging and key issues for each topic, upcoming 
discussion activities, and how to get the most from your discussion list 
subscription.

To this end, we encourage you to attend the session to discuss your own 
experience being a subscriber (writer or lurker!) on any of the Institute's 
Lists.  Please come and share your thoughts on how newcomers can get the 
most out of their subscription, as well as provide us with feedback so that 
we can better serve your needs.

We look forward to meeting you in person!
