Our theme, "Building Sustainable Futures Through Learning and Partnerships" reflects the importance of looking to the future and of planning now for the directions we take tomorrow. In keeping with our theme, we are delighted to have the Association for Continuing Higher Education (ACHE), the Kentucky Association for Adult and Continuing Education, and the Adult Higher Education Alliance as conference partners. In a first-ever collaboration, ACHE is holding its annual conference in Lexington in the days before the AAACE conference; schedules for ACHE and AAACE conferences will overlap, with joint programming for both associations on the Tuesday and Wednesday of our conference. Members of each association will have opportunities to network and learn with members of the other association. We are also delighted to welcome representatives of Adult Learning Australia. Opportunities for learning at the conference abound! Keynote speakers and panel topics address the higher reaches of human development, the profession’s future, story dynamics, and mentoring the next generation of adult educators. Current and emerging conversations hone in on adult literacy, greening the adult education curriculum, partnerships and reaching unique populations. The Preconference of the Commission for International Adult Education and the Co-Conference of the Commission of Professors of Adult Education Co-Conference will also take place as will commission, special interest group and editorial board meetings. Connection Central provides a place for gatherings and dialogs. Choose from more than 300 concurrent, symposia, roundtable and poster sessions representing the many areas of specialized interests within AAACE, such as international perspectives on adult education, post-secondary education, military education and training, workplace learning, human resource development, community programs, literacy, and program management. Take this opportunity to meet, talk and learn with leaders in the field about the important regional, national and international issues and initiatives we face developing and sustaining adult learners during these challenging times AAACE is very grateful for the hard work of the 2013 Conference Planning Committee, under the capable leadership of Dr. Steve Schmidt, Associate Professor of Adult Education, East Carolina University and program chair, Dr. Jonathan Taylor, Assistant Professor of Education at Troy University.
