The collective membership of A.C.E. has worked diligently to promote and support Aboriginal education in various capacities. Since 1991, A.C.E. has sponsored numerous, well attended and highly praised workshops and conferences and in 2006 established its first annual Aboriginal Education Awards banquet which celebrates the work of educators and our allies. The success of these events is directed toward the realities that exist, and the creation of understandings that will ultimately benefit all learners. It is the membership that develops these initiatives and offers their services on a volunteer basis, sharing the skills, resources and experience that they have developed, and the lessons that they have learned.<br/><span style=""></span><br/><span style=""></span> </span></span></span></div> 256</div> 257 </div><!-- end container --> 258 </div><!-- end main-wrap --> 259 <div id="footer-wrap"> 260 <div class="container"> 261<div id="weebly-footer-signup-container" style="border-top: 0px"> 262 <div class="signup-container-header trigger-signup" style="background-color: inherit"> 263 <div class="powered-by" style="opacity: 1; left: 2%;"> 264 <div class="footer-published-ab-powered-by"> 265 Powered by <span class="link weebly-icon"></span> 266 <img class="footer-ab-published-toast-image" src="../images/site/footer/footer-toast-published-image.jpg"> 267 <span class="footer-ab-published-toast-text">Create your own unique website with customizable templates.</span> 268 <span class="footer-ab-published-toast-button-wrapper"> 269 <button class="footer-published-ab-button">Get Started</button> 270 </span> 271 </div> 272 </div> 273 </div> 274</div>
