The Virginia Association for Adult and Continuing Education is an association of adult education practitioners. It is dedicated to the professional interests and learning needs of its members. VAACE serves the practitioner who is active in city and county adult programs, extension services, government, industry, health services, higher education, and nonprofit organizations. VAACE is dedicated to the professional development of its members, providing many invaluable services and opportunities as the profession faces more challenges than ever before. VAACE membership is more than dues paid; it represents an exchange of ideas and information, a forum for new developments in the profession, and finally, a professional environment for working, learning, and communicating with other adult and continuing education practitioners.
