President Bush last week nominated 10 individuals to serve on the National Institute for Literacy Advisory Board.

The board advises and makes recommendations to the Interagency Group, composed of the secretaries of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services, which administers the National Institute for Literacy. The Interagency Group considers the board's recommendations in planning the goals of the institute. The panel also consults with the institute on awarding fellowships and internships.

Board members are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate and includes literacy providers, organizations, students, businesses representatives, research experts, state and local governments leaders, and representatives of organized labor.

The nominees are: Carol C. Gambill of Tennessee; Douglas Carnine of Oregon; Carmel Borders of Kentucky; Blanca E. Enriquez of Texas; Jean Osborn of Illinois; Phyllis C. Hunter of Texas; Mark G. Yudof of Minnesota; Juan R. Olivarez of Michigan; William T. Hiller of Ohio; Robin Morris of Georgia.
