ABOUT THE DC CHARTER CONFERENCE

The theme for the 2019 conference is Building Our Voice. By working together with other like-minded and motivated educators and school leaders, and by seeking support from key influential people, we are able to amplify our voice and message. The DC Charter Conference began as a way of creating spaces for educational entrepreneurs to gather and share stories, build a unified and strong sector, and forge a way forward. We know that our collective voices can affect change and that we can demand better from those in positions of power. What is also important is that we listen, learn, expose ourselves to different experiences and perspectives, and find out how we can use any privilege or platform we have to be good allies. We believe that our experiences, our voices, and our ideas matter, and that some of the most important work we can do is to empower others to believe this too. And we are just getting started!
