It was with great pleasure that the VALBEC committee recognised the commitment to the Adult LLN field, and in particular, VALBEC, by awarding Lynne Matheson and Sarah Deasey Life Membership.
Lynne Matheson has been a member of VALBEC and the committee for many years – the driving force behind many conferences, forums, and other events. She is passionate and committed to the sector and has a strong sense of justice for Adult Learners and a vision for the future.
Sarah Deasey is the Further Education Coordinator at Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre and has led the Learn Local – RTO for 20+ years. Sarah has convened Fine Print, VALBEC’s journal of Adult LLN for many years and has been instrumental in volunteer committee with her knowledge of the sector, its history and people involved.
Both Lynne and Sarah are so well and highly regarded in the sector – professionally and personally. Congratulations Lynne and Sarah.
