The fellowship program covers an eight-month experience that combines leadership-focused learning activities, one-on-one mentoring, volunteering within the AAACE organization, and development of an individual leadership portfolio. The experience culminates at the AAACE annual conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee October 6-9, 2026. The Fellows will present their leadership portfolios, philosophies and examples of implementation of those philosophies into their roles as adult educators.

According to UNESCO, adult education is a key driver for economic and personal growth, financial security, social change, and strong communities. One component of AAACE’s mission is to provide leadership within the adult education field. AAACE serves as a community to facilitate these changes and “transform lives and communities”.

2026 Leadership Fellowship Press Release

Support for the Arthur (Jack) Payne Crabtree Memorial Fund is provided by a generous bequest to the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) received from the estate of Myrna P. Crabtree, wife of the late Arthur (Jack) Payne Crabtree (February 18, 1904 - November 25, 1989). The purpose of the fund is to grant awards for leadership in adult public affairs and literacy/adult basic education. The funds are being used to create a series of programs and activities in support of developing and advancing the skills and knowledge of current and future practitioners who will take on leadership roles in adult public affairs or literacy/basic education programs.

Jack Crabtree’s contributions to the field of Adult and Continuing Education are significant. Crabtree served as the President of the Adult Education Association of the United States, which merged with the National Association for Public and Continuing Adult Education (NAPCAE) to form AAACE in 1982, from 1963-1964 (Past Presidents, 2023). Crabtree supported the Adult Education Act of 1966, stating as representative of Adult Education Association, "We feel that it is perhaps the most giant step forward we have had in adult education so far in this country (US Senate, 1966)." (Hardy, 2015) Crabtree was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson to serve on the National Advisory Committee on Adult Basic Education, which was created by the Adult Education Act of 1966. (ERIC ED045872: Second Annual Report of the National Advisory Committee on Adult Basic Education., 1969).

In 1986, Dr. Waynne James, President of AAACE, presented the President's Award to Crabtree and his wife, Myrna, for outstanding contributions to the association.

In 2017, the Council for Opportunity in Education  (COE) and the Center for First-generation Student Success launched the inaugural First-Generation College Celebration! Given the continued success of this event, COE and the Center now partner to make this celebration an annual event each year on November 8.  

November 8 was selected as the date for the annual National First-Generation College Celebration to honor the anniversary of the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The Higher Education Act (“HEA”) emerged out of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. Much like other hallmark legislation of that era, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, HEA was intended to help level a playing field that for too long had been weighed against Americans from minority and low-income backgrounds. In addition to creating federal grants and loan programs to help students finance their educations, the legislation made key investments in institutions of higher education. Additionally, HEA ushered in programs, particularly the Federal TRIO programs, necessary for postsecondary access, retention, and completion for low-income, potential first-generation college graduates.

The 2022 National First-Generation College Celebration Virtual Event featured a panel discussing the first-generation adult learner identity, sharing their unique experiences and offering insight into tools and resources. Moderated by Dr. Brenda Dann-Messier, Senior Advisor, Education Strategy Group; panelists included Dr. Kelly Brochu, Assistant to the President for Special Projects, Regis College, Matt Donovan, Director of Educational Access Programs, Morehead State University, and Dr. Vanessa Sheared, Board Immediate Past President, American Association for Adult and Continuing Education.

Conceptual or Methodological Framework:
Jessica Quintero, Cindy Peña: Proposing a New Research Method: Convivencia Testimonial

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a quintessential adult educator and social justice advocate. The Highlander Research and Education Center has to its training credit Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and Septima Clark who, as attendees, learned strategies and models for adult literacy and civic engagement used to power the American Civil Rights movement. Dr. King was an explicit advocate for restorative justice for black American citizens via reparations (Coates, 2014). We share the common aims of human fulfillment and positive social change with the association. We also agree that AAACE’s vision is operationalized in its mission to advocate for public policy and social change that expands adult growth and development, ultimately resulting in more productive and satisfying lives.

Propelled by a new wave of integrative digital technological innovations that are transforming how people live, work, and interact, the U.S. economy is posed to enter a Fourth Industrial Revolution (i.e., Industry 4.0) (Schultz, 2019). The digital innovations during Industry 4.0 are expected to severely disrupt the U.S. workforce, require workers to continuously upgrade theirskills, and usher in a new age of lifetime learning. However, a system of financing access to quality education and training programming is needed to assure equitable access for those unable to afford it(i.e., middle and lower-income workers). National legislation creating Tax Deferred Lifelong Learning and Training Accounts (LLTAs) should be supported by adult educators as a national response to the educational and training related challenges presented by Industry 4.0.

Adult, continuing and community education associations across the globe all share the need to disseminate information about their professional development opportunities and other work done by their associations. Adult educators from all facets of the field need to be able to connect with one another at times when many voices acting as one is more powerful than a single voice acting alone. Only by connecting and collaborating will we be able to ensure the ultimate vision expressed by AAACE of a "more humane world made possible by the diverse practice of our members in helping adults acquire the knowledge, skills and values needed to lead productive and satisfying lives."

eucen online Seminar 2020 Across the Atlantic

Thursday 28 May 2020 from 15:00CET until 18:00CET

How to survive in critical times? University Lifelong Learning 4.0

The COVID-19 has impacted the World with surprising speed. Things that had been planned and agreed for a long time had to be cancelled and re-thought. New models of teaching and learning were needed. Thousands of classes were put at stake - there was not a lot of time for thinking and, at the same time, a lot of thinking was necessary.

How have universities re-invented their way of delivering classes? What have been the major challenges and which are the greatest successes? Did we already have models to adopt without even knowing it? How has ULLL suffered in this new situation and how has it managed to survive?

Join us in a dynamic trans-Atlantic seminar where Europe and the US come closer to address responses to unexpected critical situations. We want to imagine together ways to manage and mitigate the consequences of Covid-19 and potential future crises

This seminar is free for members of eucen, UPCEA and AAACE. Non-members registration fee: €50

Register here. Only those who register will receive access to the seminar room.

AAACE member and Commission Director Dr. Tricia Berry will share her experiences at a US based online University during the Coronavirus pandemic:

"The Coronavirus pandemic caught much of the world by surprise and will likely have a lasting change on how education is provided across the world. Online institutions did not experience the rapid transitions that traditional institutions were forced to endure, but were not free of impacts from the virus.  This presentation will provide some perspective on how the pandemic impacted one online university based in the United States.  Insights regarding preparing for future crises will also be shared."
