Raíces De Esperanza:

Building Resilient Communities for Educational Advancement

Estimados/as TACHISTAS:

During this meaningful Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate not just our past, but the future we are building together. With tremendous excitement, the TACHE 2026 Conference Planning Committee invites you to join us for our milestone 51st annual state conference in beautiful Lubbock, Texas!

This moment in our organization's history fills me with profound gratitude. As your conference chair and president-elect, I am energized by the opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional team of TACHE members who share a vision of transformative education. In these complex times, we draw strength from our collective wisdom and the power of community to create lasting change in educational spaces.

"Raíces De Esperanza: Building Resilient Communities for Educational Advancement" serves as our foundation for 2026. This theme challenges us to reimagine what's possible when education becomes a tool for community empowerment. What happens when our schools become centers of mutual care? How do we cultivate leadership that prioritizes heart alongside intellect? What ancestral wisdom and modern consejos will guide the next generation toward collective success?

Our conference programming will feature hands-on workshops, thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panels, and vibrant cultural experiences that will equip you with fresh perspectives and practical tools for educational transformation.

Your voice matters in shaping this gathering. We are seeking proposal submissions and poster presentations that reflect the diverse experiences and innovative thinking of nuestra comunidad.

Our call for proposals is now open - we encourage you to submit your ideas! Please also review the registration information we are sharing today. 

Mark your calendars: March 4-6, 2026, in Lubbock, Texas. Together, we will plant seeds that will grow into Raíces De Esperanza, flourishing for generations.

Everyone is welcome!
