[ProfessionalDevelopment 2082] AALPD Thank You and Next StepsTaylor, Jackie jataylor at utk.eduMon Apr 14 07:44:03 EDT 2008
AALPD Professional Development Colleagues, This year we have had nearly 450 individuals join or renew membership during the AALPD Membership Drive. (In contrast each year approximately 280 join during the drive and 350 join by year's end!) AALPD is now represented among 45 states in addition to several countries and one territory. Thank you to all who spread the word to states, professional development centers, community-based organizations, coalitions, and other venues and who joined or renewed membership. AALPD is an entirely volunteer-run organization and it is that energy and enthusiasm that will move AALPD forward. We have an opportunity to advance professional development in several areas: through PD programs, research, standards and PD systems-building, resources for professional developers, advocacy, and more. Several members have expressed an interest in leadership by volunteering to be a part of a committee over a priority area for AALPD. Over the next few weeks, AALPD will follow up with you to learn of your specific interest in the committee of your choice. I look forward to each of us finding ways to contribute our time, energy, or insights in whatever ways each individual's circumstance will permit. Over the next several months, I also invite everyone on this discussion list into conversations about the issues that concern us in adult literacy professional development, what we envision for AALPD, and ways we can organize to bring about change. Please see below for a listing of AALPD members. You can still join or renew at any time during the year by visiting: http://www.aalpd.org/membership_form_withleadership.cfm We make a difference in the lives of adults everyday. I look forward to our AALPD work together this year.
