Education to integrate the wide range of adult literacy and basic adult 
education programs statewide. We are seeking a Director to lead this statewide 
effort linking it to workforce, economic development and other educational 
initiatives.  The goal is to provide adult learners with access to educational

lifelong learners.  Achieving these goals will require vision, innovation and 
the ability to achieve measurable standards of excellence.

Key responsibilities will include: policy and systems development, interagency 
collaboration, ensuring a continuum of education from beginning literacy 
through higher education and job training, program quality and accountability, 
program/staff development and support, and program operations and management.

local, state or national level.
* Ten or more years of experience in leadership positions in adult education.
* Masters in Adult Education or related field is required; a Ph.D. is 
preferred.

 A substantially equivalent combination of education and experience will be 
considered.
