This conference will help create a community of practice. It will prompt future collaborative work among learning organizations on this credential and subsequent projects. It will give foundational learning and its students a voice and advocacy. It will mean common learning resources to act as a standard and to provide access. It will invite much needed applied research and professional development in this area. It will create opportunities to accrue and distribute funds among the community for needed work for this cause.
