The 2010 NCL Literacy Leadership Awards Reception was held on Wednesday, September 15, 2010, recognizing individuals and organizations that have made extraordinary contributions to improving literacy in the United States and included:

•Senator Thomas Harkin (IA), and his staff of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee who have been instrumental in supporting adult education at the federal level as well as representing the needs of America’s working families. David Johns of the HELP Committee was on hand to receive the award for Senator Harkin.

•Representative John Yarmuth (KY), a tireless advocate for literacy since his election in 2007, who has supported family literacy programs, championing Even Start programs for the most vulnerable families in poverty, and introducing the 2009 Literacy Education for All, Results for the Nation (LEARN) Act.

•English Under the Arches led by Betsy McKay, Director of Bilingual Leadership Development for McDonald’s USA LLC, for the award-winning program for developing English language and literacy skills for its bilingual managers and manager trainees.

•Kentucky Education Television (KET), Kentucky’s public broadcasting network since 1968, for their adult basic skills and workplace education series, Workplace Essential Skills and GED Connection, which are made available for free to 87% of American households through public broadcasting.

•Archie Willard, long time student advocate and leader who has nurtured the development of adult learner leaders, through his early support and leadership of VALUE, the national adult student organization.

Rep. Dan Maffei (NY) opened the event and announced the forming of a new House Adult Literacy Caucus, co-chaired by Rep. Maffei and Rep. Phil Roe (TN). The Adult Literacy Caucus aims to bring attention to the connections between literacy, economics and health and promote local, national, and global adult literacy initiatives.

The evening culminated with a celebration of the Congressional proclamation of Adult Education and Family Literacy Week, September 13–19, which had been co-sponsored by Rep. Jared Polis (CO) . For events produced by adult literacy programs around the nation in recognition of the Week, see national-coalition-literacy.org/advocacy/aefl.html.

The reception was supported by a generous grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
