Abstract	The Portage (Indiana) Adult Education Resource Center was created to serve the needs of adult education staff in the northern third of Indiana. Four assumptions underlie the creation of the center and its expansion of services in fiscal year 1982. These assumptions were: (1) learning activities for staff members should be of sufficient duration to provide real learning experiences; (2) training activities should be designed within the organizational and philosophical realities of adult education programs; (3) activities should encourage person-to-person contact across geographic lines; and (4) a regional basis is the most effective means of providing staff development activities to the largest population of adult education personnel. The Resource Center met these goals by disseminating information on special projects and other reports and techniques, offered workshops and other training sessions, served a networking purpose, encouraged programming relevant to teacher concerns, developed publications such as newsletters, and established a teacher committee to ensure relevance of the center's activities. Evaluation of the center showed positive impact of the center on its target population. (KC)
