2026 Regional Equity Summit

The Regional Equity Summit is a premier, one-day, in-person conference focused on advancing equitable and inclusive systems for all students. Now in its fifth year, the Summit will convene educators, administrators, and educational leaders from across the region for meaningful learning, dialogue, and collaboration. This year's theme, "Connected for Impact: Building Community, Amplifying Voice," centers on collective learning and storytelling as drivers for change. It features Spokane Poet Laureate Mery Noël Smith, student facilitators, a community storytelling studio hosted by A Peace of My Mind, and breakout sessions designed for all educators focusing on practical strategies, lived experiences, and collaborative learning to strengthen equitable systems for all learners.
