OUR MISSION

The IACEHOF honors those scholars, researchers and practitioners who are promoting the value of adult and continuing education in outstanding ways.

OUR VISION

To expand our leadership in identifying and honoring excellence in Adult & Continuing Education globally.

This International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame has been created not only to honor leaders in the fields of continuing education and adult learning but to serve as a record and inspiration for the next generation of continuing education leaders.

Election to the Hall of Fame acknowledges that these men and women have made distinguished contributions to the field of adult and continuing education. Each has provided a crucial nexus between resources and learners.

These innovative leaders have believed passionately in the evolutionary power of education. All are themselves exemplary lifelong learners and have left lasting impressions on the students, institutions, and organizations they have served.
