Message from the Chair

Dear NASDAE members,

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the Chair of the NASDAE Board where I can learn alongside my colleagues and represent our programs and students. I’m passionate about elevating student voice, making space for new practitioner and leader voices, and using data to tell the story of how participation in adult education can be a catalyst for change for adults and their families.

Best regards,
Heidi Silver-Pacuilla
NASDAE Chair
