To be responsive to what we’ve heard you need, we now ask once a year for expressions of interest in hosting symposia. We welcome interest from organizations across Texas!
We have these goals:
- Present high-quality symposia that meet local needs.
- Offer symposia in regions where they are most needed.
- Reach more people in Texas with quality professional development.
- Connect with new prospective presenting partners.
- Offer flexible symposium format options (full- or half-day; online or in-person).
We’re looking for expressions of interest from anyone interested in presenting a regional symposium in the coming grant year (September 2024 – August 2025).
You may have been a symposium co-presenter with Literacy Texas in the past, or you may be interested in presenting for the first time – we’re interested in hearing from everyone.
