Keynote Speaker
First Keynote Speaker Announced
Inspiration. Powered by PTA.

WSPTA would like to introduce you to our first keynote speaker, Caylin Moore, author, Rhodes Scholar, and aspiring professor.

Celebrated author and sought-after inspirational speaker, Caylin Moore invigorates audiences with wisdom from his journey of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles to striving to leave the world better than he found it. His against-all-odds journey from the cruel poverty of a gang-ridden Los Angeles community to becoming a Rhodes Scholar is detailed in his acclaimed book, A Dream Too Big: The Story of an Improbable Journey from Compton to Oxford. His work has been featured by Good Morning America, Sirius XM Radio, ABC News, NBC LA, Home and Family, Hallmark Channel, and The 700 Club amongst other media outlets. His book was named a Good Morning America Anchor’s Favorite Books of 2019, was an Amazon Bestseller in Sociology of Urban Areas and came out in paperback in June of 2020.

Can I attend convention in my jammies?

Absolutely! There is no wrong way to PTA. Whether you wear your PJs, sweat pants, or your favorite Hawaiian shirt, we are happy to have you join us. What is most important is the spirit that you bring to the event.

In addition to all of the great classes and general sessions you have come to expect, we'll be sharing more information in the coming weeks about new ways to network and socialize with leaders and members from across the state.

Please help us spread the word and invite fellow members to register and participate in what is sure to be the best convention ever!
