Greetings!

We had a great State Conference in Garden Grove. It was so much fun and great connections were made that even the weather tried to keep some from leaving the LA area on Sunday. Thank you to the attendees, presenters, and sponsors! We hope to see you all in 2025!

President's Message

February is Heart Month.

My heart is so full from CAHPERD24! I am so thankful for my conference committee and all their hard work to put on this conference. It was so good to see and talk to everyone at the conference. One of the most fun things I did was ride the hotel elevator and ask people what their favorite session was. It was very cool to have so many different answers. Our speakers did a phenomenal job! There were so many great sessions. I loved seeing people talking in the hallways and making connections. Reading all the social media posts just validates the importance of attending our State Conference. I believe the CAHPERD State Conference is the best, most relevant professional development you can go to.

The dust has not even settled from my conference and next year’s conference is already in the works. If you did not make it this year, make sure you attend CAHPERD/NAPEC 2025 “Make Inclusivity Happen Tour” next January. This will be a mega conference with the CAHPERD State Conference and NAPEC.
