Section 107/107a Dialogue Conversation Opportunities:

As we launch into a new program year I would like to highlight the historical nature and focus of our work over the months ahead. We have ahead of us a year of opportunity and strategic planning concerning the significant investments in adult education. Overall, the system has the ability to be infused with $25million. This is a time for us to come together, collaborate, expand and grow and to be bold.
