coalitions around the country, and helps to build community literacy plans.
Literacy Powerline was influential in helping to form coalitions in many
communities-some examples are Buffalo, Baton Rouge, and Fort Worth.<BR>I think
that if you go to the following website: www.literacypowerline.com you will
find a lot of helpful information. <BR>Margaret Doughty's contact information
is also on the website. She is an amazing leader, someone who has helped
communities "get it together". She has a wealth of ideas, tips and
suggestions.<BR>If you and your colleagues can go to this conference, I highly
recommend it. It is probably THE conference to go to, if you are interested in
community literacy building. I have highly recommended it to folks in my
community!<BR>Daphne Greenberg<BR>Georgia State

Anyone... <BR><BR>Could individuals/organizations that have had interactions
with<BR>Literacypowerline please provide some comment/feedback on
the<BR>organization and their conferences/programming? At a glance
it<BR>certainly appears to be addressing issues that need addressing...
But<BR>I've never heard of it and would appreciate information from anyone
who<BR>has. <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Jim Schneider<BR>Asst. Dean<BR>Scott
