NAASLN Conferences are always an
experience to remember. The international audience, the array of
sessions and conversations, the networking, the incredible information,
the hotel facilities, the committed exhibitors... all added to the
success of the experience!
In 2005 the NAASLN presentation at the NAEPDC
meeting and the pre-conference Policy Panel at the
NAEPDC/NAASLN sessions received extremely positive feedback
from the attendees, who identified the panel as one of the
most helpful sessions for thinking about how to proceed as a
State Director, as well as how to support state initiatives
for adults with special/specific learning needs. |

A conference highlight has always been
the recognition of individuals and groups, who are making a professional
contribution to the life long learning for adults with special learning
needs. The NAASLN 2005 Distinguished Service Awards went to the
Montana Coach Network of Jean Dahlman, Margaret Girkins, Vicki
Mattingly, Jackie Provance, and Megan Thompson; Fran Holthaus, Upper
Valley JVS, Ohio; and Kaye Cockrum, Houston AEL, Missouri.
The NAASLN 2005 President's Award was
given to CASAS, GED Testing Service and McGraw-Hill Companies for their
ongoing accommodation efforts to make their materials accessible to
all adult learners. |
