Women In Government is proud to be holding the 'National Summit on Adult Learning: Education as a Driver of Economic Success' on October 8 - 10, 2009 in Washington, DC! Scholarships are still available for this event!

This Summit will bring together State Legislators from across the country to explore higher education as it relates to adult learners. The Summit will feature presentations from expert speakers, as well as fellow state legislators who will provide first hand knowledge on how state policy can affect the adult learner. Topics highlighted will include:

* Model programs from Maine, Kentucky and Minnesota
* Access, affordability and accountability for higher education initiatives for adult learners
