Our Speakers

HSLDA’s @home e•vents program showcases speakers who are experts in their fields and often leaders in the homeschool community. They’ve been in your shoes and want to come alongside you in your journey to enhance your family’s homeschooling experience! Our speakers possess the breadth of experience, talent, and enthusiasm suited for encouraging you and equipping you with relevant tools.

Past e•vents have included presentations by well-known authors and speakers, such as Andrew Pudewa, Lou Priolo, Dr. Jay Wile, Jeff Myers, and Hal and Melanie Young, as well as experienced homeschooling parents and homeschool graduates. HSLDA staff speakers have included President J. Michael Smith, Chairman Michael P. Farris, many other attorneys, and some of our Special Needs, High School, and Early Years coordinators, such as Dianne Craft, Vicki Bentley, Becky Cooke, and Diane Kummer.

Becky Cooke and Diane Kummer

HSLDA’s high school coordinators, Becky Cooke and Diane Kummer, bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and friendly advice to share with families who are teaching high schoolers. In addition to offering individual consultation to HSLDA members, Becky and Diane have helped HSLDA develop numerous high school and college/career preparation resources including our Homeschooling Thru High School website, brochures, articles, and a free monthly e-newsletter. Their special joy is encouraging moms and dads to continue homeschooling all the way to graduation and to enjoy the process of coming alongside their teens as they grow from gangling 9th graders into capable, poised young adults by senior year./p>
