 | Summer Workshop 2025: Back to Our Roots invites us to reconnect with the original spirit and purpose of the ACTAA Summer Workshop. Instead of a traditional conference packed with sessions, this year’s gathering will prioritize meaningful collaboration and organizational development. While we will still offer two professional development-style sessions to inspire and equip attendees, the majority of our time will be dedicated to the business of ACTAA. This includes focused time for committee work, leadership training, and strategic planning—ensuring that every member has the opportunity to contribute, grow, and help shape the future of our organization. This intentional shift allows us to make real, measurable progress toward our goals and foster a stronger, more unified ACTAA. |
