2025 SPAN Parent Leadership & Advocacy Conference

Conferencia de Padres Lideres 2025

Parent Leadership in Action: Creating Stronger Communities

On Saturday, September 27, we welcomed a packed house of over 200 attendees for the 2025 SPAN Parent Leadership and Advocacy Conference. Attendees were inspired by a stirring keynote speech from disability and civil rights leader, Valerie C. Williams, and three sessions of workshops on topics including Family Engagement, Parent Leadership, Youth Engagement, Education, Health-Wellness-Mental Health, and Systems Advocacy. Nineteen workshops in total were delivered for attendees, who also enjoyed a networking breakfast and lunch, and had the opportunity to connect with more than 20 exhibitors.

We would like to extend our deep appreciation to all our attendees, sponsors and exhibitors for making this our best SPAN Conference yet!
