Re: OAEF website questions
Great idea to include the powerpoint!?
And we could also have a resources page.?
This is the website I created for Adult Ed Sustainability -
You can see that sometimes I provided links to Google Docs - that makes it easier for me to update things.?

Hello, OAEF people-
There was a short discussion about the OAEF website at yesterday's meeting. Last year when Kristen and Amy went to the convention in LA, I quickly created the website because was registered by someone else. But now is available, and I just registered it.
In general, the .org domain extension indicates a non-profit, which OAEF definitely is. Being a non-profit isn't a legal requirement for a site -- i.e., it doesn't have to be registered as a 501(c)3 -- but it generally is an organization that isn't a profit-making company by design. For future reference, here's Forbe's general info, potential expense, and legal requirements for NPOs:
So now... what should be on the website? Any mission statements, goals, general thoughts? Something else?
Hope you're having a good holiday off. It's been dreary all morning in lower El Cerrito, and its just now getting relatively sunny. Think I'll go do some errands.

I was very impressed - very well run program!?
Asm Damon Connolly had this to say on May Revise and Budget:
From
Connoly on Budget
-
May Revise coming out in about a week
-
Maybe 30 billion in the red - worse than anticipated
-
Wildfire funding intact
-
Education solid
-
Climate and transit - taking hits
-
There’s a lot of money out there - already allocated
-
This budget will be still be big but less than anticipated.
-
Working with proposed cuts and seeing what is doable.
-
The Fair Plan - the state back up plan - is inadequate
-
Covers primary residence - could be mobile home
-
Rural counties getting hit hard by these issues
-
Question about intersection of affordable housing
and fire safety and quake safety
-
Transit getting cut in the budget right now

Older Adults Education letter
Hi everyone,?
I have attached a letter OAEF has been gathering signatures for.? We have discussed this letter at several of our meetings; it got put on the back burner because we were gathering endorsements for a possible resolution by the California Democratic Party.? Now that the resolution has been submitted, we should try to get this letter mailed out soon.
The signatures that appear on the letter are the ones I have gotten confirmed so far. Do you know of other groups that might be interested in signing?
This letter is actually a follow up to a letter that was sent by California Council for Adult Education (CCAE).? The original letter appears on their website:? ?
The letter from CCAE is significant, because it is the first time they have criticized the California Adult Education Program (CAEP), a new system for funding the state's adult schools which was implemented in 2013.? Part of the CAEP model was the defunding of Older Adults education programs in adult schools.? A perhaps unintended consequence was that Older Adults programs in community colleges were also weakened. The CAEP reorganization of adult schools sent a strong signal that the state doesn't value Older Adults education.
CCAE's complaint is very different from ours; they have complaints about funding mechanisms and not getting their money in an efficient way.? What is significant is the CCAE is rebelling a little bit, as they usually go along to get along with Sacramento's program. The idea of our letter is to say that we also have a problem with CAEP, and while you are correcting CAEP why not correct the huge injustice that was the defunding of Older Adults programs?
Please show this letter to any organizations you think might be interested in signing on. Let's set a deadline of getting the letter out by the end of May, with some flexibility for organizations who know they are interested in signing but need more time to get approval.

Labor Notes workshop tomorrow
Hi everyone,
I think this is the Labor Notes event that Donna Frankel mentioned yesterday.? It's about union participation, so not directly related to Older Adults education, perhaps.? However, it looks interesting, and I'm going.? Anyone interested in attending should register today. It's quite easy and the event is free.? Here's the link:?

[Shared Post] West Valley, Mission community colleges to grow older adult curriculum
I don’t know if I sent this to the Forum earlier but it is still interesting!
Linda C. Begin forwarded message:

Maybe this is what it takes for community colleges to start being interested in older adults again (though it sounds like job-related courses, not dance, art, or languages!).

PS- This is an email link in the article … I hope it can be opened by a non-subscriber!

Webinars (kind of expensive) about influencing public policy in the digital age, etc.

Hi, Kristen and Cynthia,
I thought?“maybe" some of the OAEF group might be interested in these seminars, especially about lobbying and influencing public policy --
but then I realized they are charging $60 to attend each of the webinars. ?Maybe you know someone with extra time and money on their hands!
Maybe it costs less if you are a member (but then they will probably bug you for money, forever!).
One of the webinars is for people with a (501) (c) (3) organization?— which maybe would pay for the training!
Just passing it along to see what you think.?
Linda C.
