AALPD Colleagues:

 

Each year, the Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers
(AALPD) hosts a day-long PreConference at COABE to provide professional
development for professional developers and to move the strategic work
of the AALPD forward.

 

We usually have two program co-chairs to assist in PreConference
planning. This year we have one vacancy. Therefore, we are seeking a
volunteer from our membership who is interested in becoming a member of
the Executive Board as Program Co-Chair and assist in the planning and
implementation of this year's AALPD PreConference at COABE.

 

The role description is pasted in below. Tasks vary each year, depending
on the specific nature and topic of the PreConference. If you are
interested in volunteering, please contact Jeff Fantine (
fantine at ohio.edu) or Jackie Taylor (jataylor at utk.edu) by Monday,
November 5th. The volunteer should have prior event planning experience.
The AALPD Board will make the final selection.

 

I hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity! 

 

Thank you for your consideration ~
