COABE and NASDAE are working together to create a set of legislative priorities that we will encourage Congress to address when the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is re-authorized. We value your input and hope that you will click the button below to take a short survey ranking the listed priorities and also add additional areas of importance to you. This membership survey will close by 1/15/19 and will lay the groundwork for our work with Congress.  


The Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE) represents the system of 55,000 adult educators in the United States. Our roll of active members continues to grow, with more than 23,000 active members and many more educators registering (close to 40,000) annually for special events. Membership allows for participation in our professional development webinars, attending our virtual and national conferences and regional institutes, downloading our research journal, participating in our legislative advocacy initiatives, and joining us in our award-winning " Educate and Elevate" national public awareness campaign.  
 
The National Association of the State Directors of Adult Education (NASDAE) seeks to coordinate, develop, and conduct programs of professional development for state adult education leadership while serving as a catalyst for public policy review and development related to adult education. NASDAE also disseminates information about the field of adult education.
