ABLE Resource Center Director Chosen to Represent State at National Literacy Summit

Rick McIntosh, Director of the ABLE (Adult Basic Literacy Education) Resource Center has been chosen to represent the state of Ohio at the National Literacy Summit being held February 14-15 in Washington, DC. The ABLE Resource Center is located in and supported by the Ohio University College of Education.

The National Literacy Summit is being sponsored by the National Institute for Literacy, the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy, the Division of Adult Education and Literacy/U.S. Department of Education, the National Coalition for Literacy and the Consortium of State Directors of Adult Education.

The primary goal of the National Literacy Summit is to develop a future-oriented vision for literacy services in the United States that is ambitious, yet achievable. The need for the National Literacy Summit stemmed from the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS) that found that over 40 million adult Americans lack the literacy skills necessary to succeed at work, at home and in the community.
