Charting Our Future: The Power of Us
2025-04-08 08:30 - 17:00 | Greater Tacoma Convention Center, 1500 commerce st, tacoma, 98402, United States
Charting Our Future returns to bring together a powerful network of educators, policymakers, system leaders, and community advocates dedicated to driving lasting change for students. Hosted by the Foundation for Tacoma Students, this annual two-day conference is designed to equip participants with the tools, insights, and relationships needed to dismantle barriers in education and expand access to postsecondary opportunities and workforce readiness.
Taking place on April 8-9, 2025, at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center, this year’s theme, The Power of Us, centers on the strength of collective action through everyday community partnerships, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
Attendees will engage in thought-provoking keynotes, interactive breakout sessions, and strategy-driven discussions that move beyond conversations to actionable change. This year’s lineup features two nationally recognized keynote speakers whose work challenges institutions to rethink their role in creating educational equity:

Jeff Duncan-Andrade, Ph.D., Co-Founder of Community Responsive Education, has spent decades redefining the purpose of schools, proving that when education prioritizes wellness, equity, and justice, entire communities transform. His research and practice challenge outdated models and provide a blueprint for schools as centers of healing and social change.
Erin Jones, educator, author of Bridges to Heal Us, and former Washington State Superintendent candidate, has led equity and racial healing work for over 30 years. Her expertise in leadership development, cultural competency, and community engagement has shaped policy and practice across the country.

Charting Our Future is an opportunity to connect, strategize, and build the momentum necessary to push systems forward. The conference unites professionals across sectors, from K-12 and higher education to workforce development, philanthropy, and government, ensuring that solutions are rooted in aligned investments, backed by data-informed strategies, and designed for lasting impact.
