LARAEC

CONFERENCE DETAILS

This year’s conference was designed a bit different than previous events. Because we just completed our new Three-year Plan (3YP), LARAEC leadership decided to create a speaker event to kick off our 3YP implementation. We selected key speakers and presenters that target some of the areas that you, as our stakeholders, selected as our most pressing issues.  We will also share new resources and activities scheduled for the coming year and provide you with an update on the state of adult education in California. 

Saturday, October 15, 2022.
