Advocacy April, Adult Education Matters

IAACE has participated in Advocacy April by emailing our legislators, engaging in the Twitter storm, and encouraging members to be a part of the Adult Education Movement. What is the Adult Education movement? The simplest form is being a member of IAACE and sharing it with others in your program. When you build upon it from there, it is:

• Add #IAACE Member; I’m a part of the Adult Education Movement. Ask Me What I do for Adult Education to your email signatures, your social media bios
• Share on your social media of choice what you do for adult education
• Join the movement with your organizational logo
• Engaging in events during the year-
  •  The IAACE Annual Membership meeting is Friday, May 6 at 10:00 am Eastern Time via Zoom
• Serve on an IAACE committee

• Sharing learners’ success stories
• Invite your legislators to your programs and have a meeting with them
  • Graduation events are an excellent place for keynotes from them or handing out diplomas
• Sending Emails to your legislators
• Engage in the Twitter storm 
• Market your program
• Start preparing now for Adult Education and Family Literacy Week, September 18-24, 2022

Will you be a part of the Adult Education Movement? It’s time to share our successes and advocate for full-time adult education.

Advocacy is calling attention to what is important to you. Advocacy never ends, be a part of the movement.
