Liderazgo y Educación Más Fuertes:
Dándole poder a las Mujeres para que tomen Acción!

Cosponsored by: Univ. of RI Graduate Programs in Adult Education &
Conference Keynote Speaker
 Donna Jones, Adult Learner from California, has been an advocate for Adult Literacy at the local, state and national levels. She writes the Student Column for the WE LEARN newsletter. Her tutor has taken her from crayons to computers. Donna's Program Director has taken her from the back of the room to the front of the room to speak out for and to other Adult Learners -- so they, too, will step up, speak out and become leaders. Donna believes Adult Literacy should be available for all adults. Come hear her words and be inspired to become a leader and take action now.
