The Foundation for Tacoma Students invites you to submit a proposal for our fifth annual Charting Our Future conference. This two-day event convenes education leaders, advocates, and allies to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and drive systemic change.


Our community’s goal is clear: By 2030, 70% of students will earn a postsecondary credential within six years of high school graduation. This target guides our collective efforts to build a more equitable and inclusive education system.

We encourage you to share your expertise, research, and insights through compelling presentations, discussions, and innovative tools that contribute to this vision.

For technical issues or questions, email conference@graduatetacoma.org. Complete all form fields to ensure submission. You'll see a confirmation page upon success; if not, please resubmit. Save a copy of your proposal before submitting.
