Why is it important to attend our conference?
Engaging families in education is integral to achieving greater literacy and learning outcomes for families, higher attendance rates for children, and overall positive benefits to communities. While many education-related conferences exist, very few are laser focused on engaging families in family literacy, family engagement, and family leadership settings with an emphasis on equitable practices.
