West Virginia Plans a Conference

Abstract

This article is a case study of one state's efforts to call a first statewide conference of adult educators. The group in West Virginia, whose planning efforts are reviewed here, was notably successful in taking enough time to clarify its objectives thoroughly and to involve a wider, representative group in its planning operations. The result is a clear- cut program design sensitive to the needs of many groups in the state and with a promise of continuing effects on adult education in West Virginia after the first conference is over.
