International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame

[1] Annually, around ten adult and continuing education leaders from around the world are selected for induction into the IACE Hall of Fame.

Logo of the society: The history of the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame officially began in the early 1990s with the desire to honor and document contributions of the past to better build the future.

Scholars, practitioners, and policy makers reflect the diversity of adult and continuing education practice and scholarship and the increasingly global leadership community that constitutes the IACE Hall of Fame.

The Nomination Instructions claim: "To be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame, a person must be eminently distinguished in the profession, shall have brought honor or distinction, and shall have contributed to the heritage of adult and continuing education.

The IACE Hall of Fame typically holds its annual induction ceremony and symposium in conjunction with the annual conference of a major national/international professional association in the field: for example, in 2008 in Budapest, Hungary in conjunction with the UNESCO/CONFINTEA-conference, in 2010 in Guadalajara with CREAD/Inter-American Distance Education Consortium, and 2011 in Toronto with UPCEA/University Professional & Continuing Education Association..
