National Action Plan Update
In collaboration with our partners in and beyond the literacy field, we continue working to implement the recommendations of the National Action Plan for Adult Literacy.This summer, we held a two-day workshop with leaders from national literacy organizations, along with members of the Barbara Bush Foundation’s Corporate Advisory Council, including representatives from AT&T, Bessemer Trust, ConocoPhillips, Dollar General, Humana, Intel, and Vertical Bridge. A key focus of the workshop was catalyzing investment and engagement by the corporate sector in solving America’s literacy crisis.
We look forward to sharing much more information about these ongoing collaborative efforts, which are fueled by a grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, later this fall.
