It was my honor to be able to speak to the annual Adult Education Conference at the downtown Montgomery Renaissance Center in late June. When I accepted their invitation to speak, I thought there would be 50 to 60 attendees. However, when I walked in, I amazingly saw over 400 passionate, positive, energized educators and administrators that filled...
