Driggers to Represent Coosa Valley Technical College at EAGLE
The 2006 EAGLE Leadership Institute will be held in Atlanta on February 21-22 at the Sheraton Buckhead Hotel. Exceptional Adult Georgians in Literacy Education, along with their sponsoring instructors and program directors will participate in two days of leadership training under the auspices of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE).
One student delegate will represent each adult education program service area in Georgia. A selection committee made up of lead staff from the Adult Learning Centers elected Sheila Driggers to represent Coosa Valley Technical College (CVTC). Sheila studied at CVTC’s Floyd County Campus Adult Learning Center and graduated with her GED in the summer of 2005. She was the recipient of the Three Rivers Education Foundation Award for highest honors, and also a recipient of a Congressional Citizenship Award at graduation, and represented the Floyd Adult Learning Center as a student speaker. She is currently enrolled at CVTC and is planning to graduate with a diploma in Business and Office Technology and pursue work in that field. Her sponsoring instructor is Nancy Simmons. The program director is Susan Hackney.

Sheila is one who seized the opportunity to continue her education when the plant where she worked closed its doors—a familiar scenario to many area residents. She says, “It’s something I always wanted to do but never did….It was the perfect opportunity for me to get my GED.” You will see Sheila on campus now hitting the books during lunch breaks and between classes.
In addition to the leadership development sessions during EAGLE, participants will hear from DTAE Commissioner, Mike Vollmer; Interim Assistant Commissioner for Adult Literacy, Anthony Parker; and Board Member and Chairman of the Adult Literacy Committee, Roy Bowen. Delegates will be honored at a celebration dinner on Tuesday, February 21.
