Hello Julie and list subscribers,

I'm Don Finn from Richmond, Virginia.  I have been a member of the FOB 
list for several years now, although I've mainly been a "silent" member. I 
appreciate this list and the interactions of adult ed professionals from 
across the country.  I was the Field Services Coordinator for the Virginia 
Adult Learning Resource Center (based at Virginia Commonwealth University) 
for three years and I used FOB in my practice quite regularly.  I used 
this resource for sharing best practices in adult ed with those in the 
field and for designing trainings and workshops for teachers and 
administrators.  I appreciate the richness of the research findings and 
the instructional methods used by those in the field that are highlighted 
in FOB. 

In my current position, I design and develop workshops, trainings, and 
publications for college and university faculty for effectively working 
with diverse students.  I often find myself searching editions of FOB for 
tips and tricks to incorporate into my trainings because some of the 
issues in the postsecondary setting are the same as in adult ed.   I have 
a Ph.D. in Adult Education and Human Resource Development and do 
consulting work with adult ed projects often having to do with effective 
instructional methods and practices in adult education.

What I hope to continue to gain from being a part if this list is staying 
current on issues and best practices in adult education.
