Join us for the inspiring opening session of the ENGAGE Conference on Tuesday as we welcome keynote speaker Dr. Liz Huntley, a committed child advocate, accomplished litigation attorney, and president of The Hope Institute. Dr. Huntley will share her powerful personal story of overcoming childhood adversity and the transformative role educators played in her journey. Her message is a moving reminder of the impact schools can have in shaping lives and cultivating cultures of character. Following her keynote, Dr. Huntley will participate in a fireside chat with Holly Martin, Staff Development Specialist for Mountain Brook Schools. Together, they will explore the pressing challenges educators face in building schools of character in a rapidly evolving digital world influenced by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. This session promises to uplift, challenge, and spark meaningful dialogue as we kick off a week of growth and connection. Don’t miss this unforgettable start to ENGAGE!
We will wrap up Day One of the ENGAGE Conference with a high-energy closing session that brings everyone back together to celebrate the day’s learning and connections.

It’s a time to reflect, be inspired by your peers, and get excited about what’s still to come. And yes—more door prizes are on the way, so don’t even think about slipping out early! Come ready to listen, laugh, and leave the day feeling recharged and reconnected.
