Did you know that in PA, Adult and Family Literacy Education funding was cut in half in 2007 and has remained level since that year?!? Join PAACE as we work with a professional lobbyist to inform and build relationships with our elected officials, speaking with a unified voice to impact policy decisions to advance adult education!
Other benefits of PAACE membership include the following:
Each year PAACE invests in its members by purchasing a large group membership with the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE), which means you are a COABE member and can take advantage of all of their services!
You have access to high-quality professional development on a variety of topics related to adult education through PAACE and COABE webinars, archived webinars on both websites, subscriptions to PAACE News and COABE news and more.
You can join networking events to connect with other adult educators and administrators from across the state and to exchange experiences and ideas.
You receive regular advocacy updates regarding state and national legislation that impacts adult education and you are provided simple tools to enable you to communicate your views to legislators.
You receive discounted registration for the annual PAACE conference.
You can achieve recognition through state and national awards programs honoring the most distinguished administrators, educators, and programs.
Did you know that PAACE offers organizational level membership for both small and large organizations so that all of the tutors, instructors, and administrators can take advantage of the PAACE member benefits?! Advocate for your agency to join PAACE or join as an individual today. If you know a colleague who is not yet a PAACE member, take advantage of our referral program and earn a special gift to pick up at our Registration table at the upcoming 2023 PAACE Conference Registration.
