Barbara,
Congratulations on the workplace issue of FOB! It is so well 
done and it will be so useful to have for distribution to the 
many stakeholders.  I am dedlighted to be included as an 
author.  The voice you have represented say so well what I 
have said again and again to employers, policy makers and 
adult educators for nearly 15 years.

So, how many hard copies can be provided. On Dec 14th I 
present to the Governor's workforce Council on Professional 
Development for WIA initiatives.  I would need about 50 
copies.  On January 15th we present to AE program managers 
about workplace learning and the GED.  I would need about 100 
for that.  I do not know if others in the state will also be 
providing hard copies for that meeting, but I would like to 
be prepared.  These are the near term opportunities.  

I look forward to hearing from you.  Happy Holidays!  Diane
