As the first assis­tant sec­re­tary for the Office of Voca­tion­al and Adult Edu­ca­tion (OVAE) who is also an adult edu­ca­tor, Dann-Messier leads the Department’s efforts in adult edu­ca­tion and career and tech­ni­cal edu­ca­tion, as well as efforts sup­port­ing com­mu­ni­ty col­leges and cor­rec­tion­al edu­ca­tion.
