    Excellence Through Equity Conference 2024

    September 19 - 20, 2024
    Breaking Barriers Takes ALL Of Us

    About the Event

    Equity starts with everyone, and each step toward equity requires the collective stride of every soul. In order to break down barriers in our schools, every voice and every action matters profoundly. Now in its 11th year, the Excellence Through Equity Conference is expanding to include strands and speakers that are inclusive to every department in every school district. Staff from accounting and health services to human resources and technology, and every role in between, are invited to the 2024 Excellence Through Equity Conference to identify the essential nature of their roles through the lens of equity. This year’s conference will engage, equip, and uplift more educators than ever before through mindset shifting, collaboration, and professional learning.
