IACEA FALL EVENT
November 13th!

Our membership asked, so IACEA delivered!

Join us for a FREE virtual event on November 13, focused on connection and advocacy in Adult Education.

​This is your chance to speak with your colleagues. Speak about advocacy, talk with other new administrators, and attend division meeting, ​
Division Meetings

IACEA's Division Meetings are a great opportunity to share successes, vent frustrations, bounce ideas, and more.

Meetings are centered on the "burning issues" that Adult Education practitioners are currently facing.

​Division meetings are a highlight of our spring conference, but these "burning issues" cannot wait, so we are bringing them to you NOW!

IACEA – the Voice of Adult Education in Illinois – provides leadership, representation and advocacy for adult education and literacy practitioners in order to advance, unify and professionalize the field

Advocacy

Each year we spotlight an administrator, an instructor, a support services staff member, and an adult learner for their outstanding work and leadership in the area of adult education.

Leadership

Charged with promoting the achievements and successes of adult education to our communities and state and national legislative bodies.

Conference

The IACEA conference is Illinois’s premier event for adult education practitioners. This three day conference will provide professional development and networking opportunities for people in all adult education roles and capacities. The conference is appropriate for practitioners of English as a Second Language (ESL), Literacy, Adult Basic Education (ABE), Adult Secondary Education (ASE), High School Equivalency (HSE), Integrated Education and Training (IET), and all things WIOA.

Representation

New IACEA members select a division to help promote and encourage activities of groups having a common interest. Which division is meant for you?

All the Tools You Need to Succeed

From its inception, IACEA has advocated the improvement of adult and continuing education standards in the state of Illinois; promoted the availability of adult and continuing education to all people; and stimulated the intellectual and professional growth of its membership including those who administer, teach, or provide support services in adult and continuing education programs. IACEA members represent all facets of the field including public schools, community extensions and evening colleges, corrections, health, community and social welfare agencies, university continuing and extension education, business, arts and religion, media, libraries and many more. We are in the mainstream of the most important movement of the century.
