3. CCAE spends thousands of dollars every year for staff and student scholarships.

4. CCAE provides leadership opportunities for members who otherwise may have the talent, but not the opportunity to express that talent.

5. I would like to testify before a legislative committee but I can't get away. CCAE does it for me. Our Legislative Advocate and CCAE leaders testify on my behalf on adult education bills and issues.

6. CCAE employs a Legislative Advocate who monitors every piece of legislation that involves either directly or indirectly, the adult education community.
