"This declaration celebrates education's profound impact on individuals' lives and our community’s prosperity. The privilege of accepting this proclamation is heightened by its power to illuminate the transformative influence of adult education and family literacy, providing a platform to shine a spotlight on adult learners and their educational odysseys," Holt said.
