WELCOME
On behalf of the North Carolina Adult Education Association, we invite you to attend our annual conference to be held on the campus of East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina on March 12-14, 2008.

We hope the theme for this year's conference "Adult education programs: Do they work for working adults" will challenge adult educators across the state to examine the state's adult education programs and determine whether or not they are serving the needs of students. Also, share individual and institutional examples of how we, as adult educators, continue to meet the needs of adult students through programs, research and student services.

This year, we are honored to have Brenda White Wright, motivational Speaker and trainer, as our keynote speaker. Wright is an adult learner who has been in school for 30+years. Through the use of entertaining anecdotes and instructive examples, her stimulating presentation will focus on continuing education as a transformative solution for those challenged by negative cultural stereotypes and limited expectations. The audience will be energized and inspired by the speaker’s examples to learn and teach others to identify and eliminate obstacles to healthy and happy lifelong learning.
