Hello Anestine and all,
The discussion is scheduled to occur over a gradual time period (January 30 - 
February 10) on the Adult Literacy Professional Development Discussion List, 
so you and others will not need to be at your computer at a specific, 
designated time.

Guests will be available during that time period to participate in discussions 
on the list about State PD Systems. If you have questions for guests, or if 
you'd like to participate in the discussion, you would post your message to 
the Adult Literacy Professional Development list just as you would participate 
in other listserv discussions.

Does that help? If anyone has further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your interest! Best, Jackie
