	Hello colleagues
	 
	I want to use this forum to reach many of you across the nation whom I have the privilege of knowing through PD and other initiatives to share some important news about my professional life.  As of July 1, I am no longer with Texas LEARNS, the state office of adult education and family literacy.  I am now working with the literacy clearinghouse at the Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and Learning (TCALL) at Texas A&M University as a PD specialist.  I will continue involved in PD initiatives in our state but may not represent Texas at some national meetings where I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you.  
	 
	In January 2009 I will start work toward my PhD in adult education at Texas A&M.  I look forward to continue my professional relationship with many of you and hope to remain active in electronic discussions and professional organizations.  
	 
	Peace,
