November 5, 2010LITERACY ACTION
It is an honor to announce to you that Literacy Action, Inc. was named yesterday as the Finalist for The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta’s 2010 “Managing for Excellence Award.”
As businesspeople and community volunteers, it’s important to us that Atlanta has a skilled workforce and healthy, thriving families. Unfortunately, there are more than 800,000 adults in Metro Atlanta who are not able to realize their potential because they are under-educated or functionally illiterate.

In metro Atlanta alone, nearly 800,000 adults are considered “functionally illiterate”. Like many other nonprofits in the Atlanta region, Literacy Action has been facing a significant increase in demand for services over the last two years.
