The Dollar
General Literacy Foundation and the National Coalition for Literacy are
holding the Dollar General Presentation Series, meetings on adult literacy,
around the country. Since 2006, five meetings have been held in: Nashville,
TN; Phoenix, AZ; Baltimore, MD; Spartanburg, SC; and Houston, TX. The
Series continues this fall in Columbia, MO on October 14th. NCL has developed
these regional, one day conferences, in collaboration with the Dollar
General Literacy Foundation, and local literacy organizations. The format
includes presentations on: national policy and the importance of advocacy;
representatives from the field discussing their advocacy successes; and
an overview of community – business partnerships. NCL and local
partners work together to identify issues, invite business partners and
recruit experts. For the wrap-up of the 2006-07 meetings, please read the Dollar General Series 2006-07. Meeting notes and news along with advocacy resources and links from recent meetings appear on the following pages.
