Join us for the 5th Annual Regional Equity Summit, a one-day, in-person conference dedicated to learning, connection, and action toward creating and sustaining equitable and inclusive systems for all students.

Now in its fifth year, the Reginal Equity Summit brings together educators from across the region to network with schools and districts, engage in meaningful dialogue, and deepen shared understanding of equity across the classroom, building, and district levels. This year’s theme, Connected for Impact: Building Community, Amplifying Voice, centers on collective learning and storytelling as drivers for change.

We are excited to feature Spokane Poet Laureate Mery Noël Smith, along with a community storytelling studio hosted by A Peace of My Mind, inviting participants to share and capture our collective stories of equity, identity, and impact.

Breakout sessions will be designed for all educators including classroom teachers, school and district leaders, specialists, and support staff with a focus on practical strategies, lived experiences, and collaborative learning to strengthen equitable systems for all learners.

- Spokane Poet Laureate

- Student facilitators
