The Virginia CEC Board is diligently working on an exceptional professional development experience, and we are pleased to share our keynote speakers for the fall of 2025! We are honored to welcome Ameer Baraka – award-winning actor and nationally recognized dyslexia advocate – as a featured speaker at our 2025 Annual Conference!
Ameer’s powerful journey and advocacy for individuals with dyslexia have inspired countless educators, families, and students. His voice brings both awareness and hope, making his presence at this year’s conference especially meaningful.
Join us November 5–7, 2025 at the Holiday Inn North Beach in Virginia Beach, VA, for three days of learning, connection, and inspiration.
