Performance Based Funding Task Force
June 12, 2009

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for your interest in the Performance Based Funding Task Force. The response to participate on the Task Force was overwhelming and as a result we have been able to select a group of participants that represent different provider types, regions and program designs.

Based on the recommendation of the consultants working with ACLS, we have limited the size of the group and also limited the participants to Directors of Community Adult Learning Centers. I regret that we are not able to accommodate everyone that wanted to participate but there will be future opportunities to provide input.

The following is the list of Task Force members:

Lisa Beatman - United South End Settlement (Boston)
Don Edwards - Operation Bootstrap (Lynn)
Robert Hibbard - El Centro de Cardenal (Boston)
Joel Hurwitz - Dimock Community Health Center (Roxbury)
Lisa Jochim - UMass Workers Education Program (Dartmouth)
Maria Kefallinou - Quinsigamond Community College (Worcester)
Janet Kelley - Read/Write/Now (Springfield)
Suzanne Martin - Brockton Public Schools
Betty McKiernan - Middlesex Community College (Bedford)
Christine Tibor - Framingham Adult ESL Plus

Maria Kefallinou and ACLS Team Leader Jola Conway will co-chair the Task Force.

Again, thank you for your interest in this important issue.

Anne Serino
