Registration FormSchedule-At-A-GlanceConference ThemeThe 2024 conference theme is HOPE. Currently, in our profession we are experiencing dramatic change to the education landscape. From the recent SCOTUS decision, legislative decisions regarding access, affirmative action, race, equity and equality…this is heavy. However, we must find HOPE. As leaders, learners, mentors, and mentees we need to define what gives us HOPE...in TACAC, in our profession, in our students, in our own lives. HOPE embodies optimism and a belief that positive outcomes are possible. HOPE can be a feeling, a person, a story, a call to action. The imagery of wildflowers brings me hope. Wildflowers in the logo represent qualities and symbols that resonate with human emotions and aspirations. Their presence can serve as a reminder that beauty, resilience, renewal, and unexpected joys are all part of the human experience, even during challenging times. College FairTACAC will be hosting a college fair in Lubbock at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center following the conference.
