The National Family Engagement Summit originated as Virginia’s Parent Involvement Summit in February 2011. Its inaugural event was a small state conference hosted by Successful Innovations. In short order, the conference gained a reputation by attracting the attention of many educators beyond Virginia, and eventually grew to become the Mid-Atlantic Family Engagement Summit (March 2013 – 2015). In March 2015, Successful Innovations launched the first National Family Engagement Summit in Richmond, Virginia. Hundreds of educators around the nation attended this event and were recognized for their innovative efforts in promoting family engagement.
The summit continues to grow each year. It now travels to different states around the nation from VA, NC, MO, and now GA!!!! The Summit has emerged as the premiere event for family engagement professionals and educators who are passionate about impacting and strengthening equitable family and school partnerships.
