About IAHLA
The Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association (IAHLA) was formed at the request of Indigenous controlled Post-Secondary Institutes and Adult Learning Programs to address and further the mutual interests of all Indigenous controlled Learning Centres in British Columbia (BC). The organization receives administrative support from the First Nations Education Steering Committee.
The IAHLA mandate includes the following activities:
- to collect and disseminate relevant information to assist Indigenous adult and higher learning agencies in their provision of education services;
- to undertake research that will benefit Indigenous adult and higher learning agencies throughout BC;
- to facilitate networking and information sharing activities, such as conferences, meetings, and workshops;
- to support collective professional development and training opportunities;
- to undertake other support activities at the direction of Indigenous adult and higher learning agencies; and to solicit funding as necessary to undertake the activities listed above.
The first Annual General Meeting (AGM) of IAHLA took place in January 2004. At that time, IAHLA members discussed upcoming initiatives for the Association, which included efforts to promote the programs being offered in indigenous institutes throughout the province as well as discussions about the possibilities for collective research and professional development activities.
