It's Conference Time!

Greetings GAEA!

It's spring in Georgia and that means it's almost time for another GAEA Annual Meeting! This year the meeting is scheduled for May 12, 2009. Central Georgia Technical College will host what we believe will be our first ever drive-in, one day conference. Given recent events and their impact on all programs we felt that it was more important than ever to gather and discuss the timely and important issues facing continuing education in Georgia. But, with cuts to travel budgets and heavier workloads, a lengthy conference just wasn’t possible.

So this year, in support of our membership, we are pleased to announce a one-day meeting, free to our members, where we highlight and discuss the topics burning in the minds of Georgia’s CE leaders. Appropriately, our theme is HOT! HOT! HOT!

Yes, I said "Free"!

In our recent survey many members indicated that travel and conference fees just weren’t in the budget. But students aren’t the only ones who should update their skills and knowledge. Educators and program planners must also expand their expertise. Our program planners rallied their arguments and convinced the board that GAEA should foot the bill for this gathering. A paid 2009 membership to GAEA this year will include all conference fees.

Who should plan to attend this conference? Anybody who wants to discuss exciting trends, pitfalls to avoid, and potential growth opportunities for lifelong learning should register. In a single day we’ll discuss a wide range of topics, none of which you’ll want to miss. Watch our website for announcements and please make plans to attend. The strength of GAEA is based in representation from all BOR and TCES schools. We’ve gone the extra mile to make it easy and hope you’ll join us in Macon.

GAEA Vision

Our vision is of an association made up of public and private universities, colleges and technical institutes, libraries, departments of state government, business and industry, professional associations/organizations and any other group or individual involved in the continuing education and training of Georgia citizens. We envision a professional association that will promote, develop, and interpret adult/continuing education and training in Georgia. The association will facilitate communication and interaction among groups and individuals engaged in the field of adult/continuing education and training. The association will foster the coordination of existing resources and services and work to establish new resources and services in order to better meet the adult/continuing education and training needs of Georgia citizens.
