great resource; the AALPD is, too.---Barb Garner
************

Colleagues:
Are you interested in getting more involved with adult literacy
professional 
development (PD)? And in contributing your voice along with other
proponents 
of adult literacy PD? Would you like to take part in establishing (in
the eyes 
of policy makers) the legitimacy of a national association of
practitioners 
committed to adult literacy professional development?

Whether or not you are a member of the NIFL-AALPD discussion list, we
would 
like to invite you to become a formal member of the Association of
Adult 
Literacy Professional Developers (AALPD). Membership in AALPD is open
to adult 
educators interested or working in professional development in adult
literacy. 
Individuals join AALPD by completing and submitting the Membership
Form:

http://wvabe.state.k12.wv.us/aalpd/ 

As we grow and expand, we want to know who our members are in order to

advocate effectively for professional development and provide members
with the 
best possible services. So, we are asking interested individuals to
register 
as an AALPD member each year. IF YOU HAVE BEEN AN AALPD MEMBER
PREVIOUSLY, 
PLEASE REGISTER AGAIN TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

You do NOT have to become a member of AALPD in order to stay on the
NIFL-AALPD 
discussion list, but we hope you will want to join AALPD. There is *NO
FEE* to 
become a member.


**MEMBERS VOTE FOR SLATE OF OFFICERS BY OCTOBER 30, 2003**
On the membership page, you can also VOTE for the current slate of
nominated 
AALPD officers (Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary-Treasurer). 
<http://wvabe.state.k12.wv.us/aalpd/membership_form.htm>

Why should you become a member of AALPD?

* It's free!

* You can vote for AALPD officers and on special issues that arise
(ONLY AALPD 
MEMBERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE).

* We will send you the latest information about upcoming trainings,
events and 
resources.

* You can have input into the design of the COABE pre-conference
session next 
year (2004 in Columbus).

* You can contribute your voice to our advocacy efforts.

* You can help to establish AALPD's legitimacy in the eyes of policy
makers by 
demonstrating a strong membership of concerned practitioners committed
to 
professional development.


I hope each of you will strongly consider formal membership to AALPD.


Sincerely,

Jackie Taylor
List Facilitator, AALPD
