Oklahoma Educators: Join a Free National Advocacy Conference and Make Your Voice Heard
Educators have long played a vital role in strengthening communities across Oklahoma—not only in the classroom, but also as advocates, mentors, volunteers, caregivers, and civic leaders. As important conversations continue about retirement security, caregiving, education, and community well-being, educators have a unique perspective to share.
That's why we invite educators from across Oklahoma to join the 2026 Advocacy Conference: Empowering Educators to Make Their Voices Heard, a free virtual event hosted by NRTA: AARP's Educator Community.
Designed for educators age 50-plus, this engaging national conference will provide practical information, advocacy tools, and opportunities to connect with fellow educators who are committed to making a difference in their communities.
