Thought I'd chime in here.  Having worked in adult basic education and
literacy for over 20 years here in the U.S.,  I have worked with Margaret
Doughty, who is the force behind LiteracyPowerline, for many years and she
is an (if not THE) extremely highly-regarded expert in literacy coalitions,
community literacy, and support for community collaborations engaged in
literacy.  She was a key player in the LiteracyUSA coalition network, and
works with many literacy coalitions and foundations involved in literacy
nationally.  This conference looks great for anyone who is involved in or
thinking about founding a literacy coalition or collaboration, and knowing
Margaret, I would recommend whatever she promotes.   Best.Cris
