ABOUT THIS TOPIC

Every year at the Literacy Texas Annual Conference, Executive Director Dr. Jenny McCormack Walker casts a vision for the future. What’s Literacy Texas planning for the coming year? How can you be involved?

We know not everyone can be at the conference. So, you’re invited to this special pop-up session to hear all about what’s coming up over the next 12 months. And this year, after Jenny’s announcement of her departure, we know you’ll have additional questions! We hope you’ll join us.
