COME SIT AT THE TABLE โ€” TODAY AT 2:00 PM PACIFIC

Are you a professional, practitioner, author, speaker, community leaderโ€”or simply someone interested in strengthening families?

Come join us TODAY for HOPE 2027.

Weโ€™re opening our HOPE 2027 Planning Cafรฉ to the community as we build the 28th International Families and Fathers Conference, coming to Los Angeles in April 2027.

TODAY โ€” Thursday, August 13, 2026

You donโ€™t have to already be involved with FFCA to join us today.

Maybe you want to become a workshop presenter.

Maybe youโ€™ve heard of TED Talks and have an idea for one of our new 12-to-15-minute main-stage HopeTalks.

Maybe youโ€™re interested in becoming an International Executive Fellow and helping shape the future of FFCA.

Maybe youโ€™re an author with a book youโ€™d like to introduce or display.

Maybe your organization should become an exhibitor or partner.

Maybe youโ€™d like to volunteer.

Maybe you simply want to attend. Our Super Early Bird registration rates are available through October 31.

Maybe you know somebody who belongs in one of those seats.

Or perhaps you should just come, listen, and see what happens.

One of our approved HOPE 2027 speakers, Rico Sharp, International Speaker, Author & Leadership Expert and Founder of Student Lives Matter and Teachers Lives Matter, sent me a message this morning that captures what weโ€™re trying to build:

โ€œIโ€™m really enjoying how youโ€™re creating such an inclusive organizationโ€”one that feels less like an exclusive organization and more like an extended inclusive family that weโ€™ve all been invited to be a part of.โ€

Rico is traveling internationally this week for a speaking engagement combined with family vacation time, but heโ€™s still going to make every effort to join us today. He closed his note by saying:

โ€œEither way, Iโ€™m praying for a productive, impactful, and successful planning meeting today. Iโ€™m grateful to be a part of what youโ€™re building.โ€

Thatโ€™s HOPE 2027.

There isnโ€™t just one way to belong.

There isnโ€™t just one way to participate.

And there isnโ€™t a special group that gets to sit at the table while everyone else watches.

TODAYโ€™S CONVERSATION

A. Speaker Orientation โ€” Workshops, HopeTalks, registration, hotel rooms and scheduling

B. Augustโ€“September Priorities โ€” Moving toward 85โ€“90% program completion by September

C. International Executive Fellows โ€” Opportunities to become part of FFCAโ€™s emerging international leadership

D. HopeTalks โ€” Our new TED-style, 12-to-15-minute main-stage experience

E. Presenter Visibility โ€” A LIVE demonstration showing how weโ€™re helping presenters transform their completed articles, photos and professional links into HTML features for the FFCA platform

F. Partner Pavilions โ€” New partnerships and deep-dive learning experiences

G. Authors, Exhibitors, Volunteers & Attendees โ€” Multiple pathways to participate in HOPE 2027

H. HOPE 2028 โ€” Los Angeles County, San Diego, San Francisco, New Jersey or New York?

I. The Future of the Conference โ€” Leadership, professional event support and growing without losing our human connection

If something in this post made you think, โ€œMaybe I should see what theyโ€™re doing,โ€ thatโ€™s enough.

COME SIT AT THE TABLE TODAY.

๐‡๐Ž๐๐„.
Hope is not only a feeling. Hope is a force. It begins within, strengthens families, and moves outward into communities, organizations, and systems.

As part of this vision, HOPE TALK 2027 โ€” A New Generation of Voice, Purpose, and Possibility invites emerging and established voices to share their ideas, experiences, research, stories, and wisdom.

Whether you are a first-time presenter, researcher, educator, practitioner, parent, youth leader, advocate, author, community leader, or someone whose lived experience carries a powerful lessonโ€”your voice belongs in this conversation.

Share what you have learned, what transformed you, what others need to hear, and how your experience can create greater possibility and hope.

๐ŸŒ… Your experience may be the message someone else needs.
Bring your value. Your passion. Your uniqueness. Your purpose.
Bring the message that only you can deliver.

Something remarkable is happening.

Every week, our interdisciplinary review committee is reading new workshop proposals and HOPE Talk submissions, and the momentum continues to grow.

Weโ€™re already seeing proposals from Australia and from professionals across California, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, New York, and additional states. Theyโ€™re coming from large cities, small communities, universities, government agencies, private practice, nonprofits, Head Start programs, and grassroots organizations.

Excitingly, the conversation includes social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, early childhood professionals, healthcare workers, fatherhood practitioners, researchers, faculty, nonprofit leaders, government agencies, and authors. Sessions cover father engagement, trauma-informed practice, mental and behavioral health, healthy relationships, leadership, resilience, family engagement, child welfare, education, workforce wellness, mindfulness, communication, organizational excellence, research, and innovation.

Weโ€™re also excited to announce Signature Learning Experiences that continue to elevate HOPE 2027, including UCLA Mindful, Maybelline New York and The Jed Foundationโ€™s Brave Talk, and The Coach John Wooden Leadership Experience, with additional immersive Partner Pavilions continuing to take shape.

One promise weโ€™re making is simple:

Dr. Montaรฑez Agosto's work reminds us that supporting fathers isn't about taking attention away from mothersโ€”it's about strengthening the entire family. By recognizing fathers as caregivers with their own mental health needs and emotional journeys, we build healthier families and stronger communities.

๐Ÿ‘ Congratulations, Dr. Josรฉ Yamil Montaรฑez Agosto, on this remarkable achievement. Your scholarship honors fathers, your research strengthens families, and your leadership inspires us all.

Together, we're building a future where fathers are seen, heard, and valuedโ€”not only as providers, but as parents, caregivers, and human beings.

It is here where everything that must die burns away, so purpose can rise again. The phoenix does not rise from comfort, it rises from ash. And before you can understand the rising, you have to understand the burning.

Behind every success story is someone who believed when others doubted, encouraged when times were tough, and helped light the path forward.

Thatโ€™s my story as I transformed from a boy named Jimmy to the person I am known by today: Dr. James Rodriguez. The world knows me as a Professor, Executive coach, President, Speaker, Leader, and most importantly, I am a Dad.
