Texas CASA Conference
2026-09-09 11:00 - 2026-09-11 12:00
Join us September 9-11 in San Marcos, TX for the three-day Texas CASA Conference. This year’s conference celebrates and reflects the active and ongoing work of CASA volunteers and staff. Advocacy requires continuous effort and intentional action at every stage of a child’s journey. Each action builds momentum and ensures that children receive consistent support as systems and circumstances change around them.

Through curated workshops and speakers, we aim to build on this momentum as CASA volunteers and staff carry this advocacy forward through every voice, decision and step they take — creating continuity, stability and hope for children and families.

Registration will open July 8 and the registration cost is $400 per attendee. Registration, hotel and travel expenses are allowable on both FY26 and FY27 HHSC and VOCA grants.

Keep checking back for updates on logistics and programming.
