2026 ADULT EDUCATION HERO AWARDS
Elevating Possibilities: 10 Years of Rising Together
EECG marks ten years of impact in adult education with a celebration co-produced with the National Coalition for Literacy.
For ten years, Elevation Educational Consulting Group has partnered with schools, nonprofits, workforce organizations, and communities to strengthen leadership, expand opportunity, and support the people doing the work of adult education. On September 16, 2026, we're marking that milestone with a celebration co-produced with the National Coalition for Literacy.
The evening includes a networking reception and a full program, featuring the return of the Adult Education Heroes Awards after a five-year pause and a tribute to the late Peter Waite, whose leadership shaped this field for decades. Adora Beard of GED Testing Service serves as our Honorary Chair.
This gathering is for educators, nonprofit leaders, workforce development professionals, government partners, and the organizations that fund and support adult education. Ten years of partnership brought us here. This is where we celebrate it, together.
