Homeschool Leaders – This One’s For You!
If you lead a homeschool group, co-op, or support organization, join us for a powerful day designed specifically for you.
This summit will equip you with practical, proven strategies to strengthen your organization, grow your reach, and multiply your impact. You’ll gain fresh insights on running productive meetings, casting a compelling vision, and implementing best practices that actually work— all while connecting and collaborating with fellow leaders from across Louisiana.
Come for the wisdom. Stay for the community.
Enjoy a shared lunch and be inspired by our keynote speaker, Tara Bentley—a seasoned homeschool mom of two graduated daughters, Board Member of the Indiana Association of Home Educators (IAHE), and current Executive Director.
Tara Bentley is the proud mom of two daughters, both homeschool graduates. During her family’s 13-year homeschooling journey, she and her husband, Mark, served in local homeschool leadership for 12 years. Today, they serve together on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Association of Home Educators (IAHE), where Tara also serves as Executive Director. Together, they also serve on the board of the National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leadership.
As a wife, mom, and ministry leader who is constantly balancing work, family, and countless responsibilities, Tara is passionate about encouraging moms who often feel like they aren’t enough. She loves reminding women that God’s grace is sufficient and that faithfulness matters more than perfection.
