Acknowledgements

Tri-County Literacy Network and MiS would like to acknowledge the funding and support provided by The National Literacy Secretariat.

We would also like to thank the four interviewees who participated in the Best Practices research. Their individual interview highlights have been included in this report, following receipt of their expressed permission.

The project consultant would also like to thank Andrea Dickinson, the project manager, and the reference committee members, Joan Iatonna and Walt Stechyshyn, for their leadership and direction. Their commitment to the project before its official launch and their ongoing support helped ensure its success. Additionally, their relaxed yet professional working styles are an excellent model for how work can be: progressive, effective and fun.

Finally, Tri-County Literacy Network would like to acknowledge Marianne Simpson, the former Executive Director of TCLN, for initiating this project.
