Mission

The National Council of State Directors of Adult Education (NCSDAE) was established on November 15, 1967 as a unit of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE).

The purpose of the NCSDAE is:

• to attend to legislative needs and concerns,

• to work with other adult education organizations,

• to exchange ideas and solve common problems, and

• to establish and maintain a nationwide communication network regarding national policy and legislative issues.

Dues are paid by the individual State Directors of adult education annually.  Associate Members are other state staff members recommended by the State Director.  Each State gets one vote.
