COABE 2009:  Adult Education - Absolutely Essential: Winners Circle of 
Champions

Based on all of the conversations I've been reading and that I heard at 
the COABE 2008 conference, I know how passionate many of you are about 
the workforce topic and I wouldn't want those attending the 2009 
conference to miss out on the wonderful things we have going on across 
the country and the world!
I'm on the conference planning committee and we knew how important it 
was to have workforce well-represented, so we created a specific strand, 
but now there haven't been many session proposals on the topic, SO - 
please submit to present or we won't have a good showing and we'll have 
only ourselves to blame :(
Come on - you've got 3 days!!!  Let's do it!

Thanks,
Tonya

** Deadline extended to December 5th at midnight**
