"I go to a lot of conferences and it's not really about adults or workforce or trying to help people who have had a false start and then really want to just finish their degrees, get across that finish line. And when I come here I feel like I don't have to explain that to people. I'm here among people who get it and who care about the same things that I do."
"As the CEO of a workforce development board, I find tremendous value in CAEL’s thought-leadership, tools and network to help us grow our knowledge in how to best partner with postsecondary education."
"CAEL has become an essential part of my professional community in my work as I teach, research, and network to support adult learners."
