About The Montgomery Coalition for Adult English Literacy (MCAEL): The Coalition had its beginnings in 2002, when Council members Mike Subin, Marilyn Praisner, and Blair Ewing, recognizing a growing demand for services, commissioned Montgomery College to study the current system of Adult ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programs in Montgomery County. TheCoalition was formed in 2005 under the auspices of Montgomery College's Workforce Development and Continuing Education department. In 2006, MCAEL incorporated as an independent non-profit organization, transitioning out of the College to new offices.
MCAEL is dedicated to strengthening the county-wide adult English literacy network with resources, training, collaborations and advocacy to support a thriving community and an optimal workforce. MCAEL Visions is for "all adult residents are employable, engaged, and empowered by literacy to achieve their full potential and all local businesses to have access to an English literate workforce." To learn more about MCAEL please visit mcael.org.
About Barnes & Noble: Barnes & Noble's beginnings can be traced to 1873, when Charles M. Barnes started a book business from his home in Wheaton, Illinois. In 1917, his son, William, went to New York to join G. Clifford Noble in establishing Barnes & Noble. During the height of the Great Depression, what later became the Barnes & Noble flagship store was opened on Fifth Avenue at 18th Street in New York City, where it still resides today.
Barnes & Noble superstores have become the information piazzas of America. They combine a vast and deep selection of book titles with an experienced bookselling staff and a warm, comfortable and spacious atmosphere. They also offer a comprehensive inventory of music and DVDs. The music department stocks a deep selection of classical, jazz, opera and show tunes that has established Barnes & Noble as a leader in the adult music market. Please learn more about Barnes & Noble's history, corporate organization, store locations in the Mid-Atlantic area, and online store.

Building a Trusted Website:
National surveys show that the top three concerns users have about their online experience, particularly when ecommerce is concerned, are: 1) Is my personal information safe and secure?; 2) can I trust the site and the information on it?; and, 3) does the site represent a credible business and has a comprehensive and easy-to-understand Privacy Policy?
Your trust is important to us. Our website has been carefully designed and is being improved continuously in order to provide you with an informative, enjoyable, credible, and secure online experience.
For example, we use state-of-the-art, 128-bit Extended Validation security technology like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect your e-Commerce transactions. Also, we partner with national and/or international organizations that are committed to maintaining the highest possible standards of service, security, reliability and trust, such as the Better Business Bureau, McAfee Secure, EventBrite, Verisign, 1&1, and Paypal.
Finally, we have developed policies and operating procedures to protect your privacy, and have periodic, one-on-one training of our staff to ensure that they are faithfully followed.
If you have questions about the security and reliability of our website, do not hesitate to contact me at President@MAHCC.org.

About our Calendar of Events:
The MAHCC Calendar of Events does not include regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, meetings of the different standing and ad-hoc committees, or any other activity where attendance is restricted to "members only."
Although we are a multilingual organization, unless otherwise indicated MAHCC-sponsored events are conducted in ENGLISH.
Inclement Weather Policy:
In the rare occasion that an event or meeting may be cancelled due to inclement weather, the MAHCC adheres to the Federal Government policy: If the Federal Government closes, events and meetings are cancelled, and if it announces a liberal leave policy, events will be held, but attendees should consider safety first in their decision to attend. Every effort will be made to post an event cancellation notice on the MAHCC website but, in its absence, the MAHCC Inclement Weather Policy takes precedence.
Moreover, since the MAHCC must pay for cancelled events, costs may not be refunded in whole or in part. Please call the Chamber office at 301-404-1946 for further information.
