Dear NCL Members, *We have extended the deadline for response to the NCL Board’s Strategic Priorities Survey to Friday, April 13. * A working group of the NCL Board and other members believe that it is important to develop strategic priorities for our advocacy work, and we need your help to determine the priorities. Please complete the following survey—it should take around 10 minutes to complete. *Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QFL6GYD <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QFL6GYD> * We are happy to receive responses from multiple members of an organization, as long as each respondent indicates willingness to contribute as a member of the team working on the issue identified as important. We look forward to receiving PAACE's responses. As you respond to the questions on the survey, please keep the NCL Mission and Vision in mind. *Mission*: To advance adult education, family literacy, and English language acquisition in the U.S. by increasing public awareness for the need to increase funding and programs; promoting effective public policy; and serving as an authoritative resource on national adult education issues. *Vision*: All adults are able to fulfill their potential and meet their goals through accessing high quality adult education and literacy services provided by an integrated and well-developed system. NCL will continue to advocate for policies and legislation that advance adult education, family literacy, and ELL. In addition, the working group has identified issues that NCL might take on as projects in the coming year or two. We want to know if other members consider these important priorities. NCL has limited financial and staff resources and we need to know if you would be willing to work on issue(s) you feel are important. We also want your input on issues not on this list. NCL will focus on the area(s) with the most member interest and support. Thank you for participating. Sincerely, Deborah Kennedy, NCL President
