“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17b · CHEA's theme for 2026
In honor of our country's 250th Anniversary, we want to invite students of all ages to participate in this year's Regional Mini-Con with any displays or recitations they may have that pertain to the theme of “Preserving Liberty.”
As many students as would like to may set up a display (each will be allotted half of a 6′ table), and a few will be chosen to give recitations as well. If your student has something you think might be appropriate, please note it on your registration, and our Student Involvement Coordinator will be in touch with more details.

Nathan began working at Family Protection Ministries (FPM) in 2002 to protect private homeschooling in California. He was homeschooled himself through high school graduation and received a B.A. in Political Studies from The Master's University. Currently he serves as Executive Director and Legislative Liaison for FPM and on the CHEA Board of Directors. He works behind the scenes at the State Capitol, meeting with legislators to advocate on behalf of homeschoolers. He and his wife, Betsy, homeschool their own eight children.
Dr. Karla Memmott homeschooled her two sons, who have each graduated college and established themselves as thriving adults. Graduating her last child in 2014, she continues to have a heart to serve the homeschooling and classically educating communities in Northern California. As co-founder of Acacia Classical Academy she and her husband, Kyle, minister in the greater Sacramento area. She teaches dual credit classes through Kepler and remains active in STOA speech and debate as an assistant coach with a local club.
As CHEA's Executive Director, Angela Lasch gets to work every day toward her vision of families knowing they can absolutely home educate their children. As CHEA was a tremendous help to her while she and her husband, Scott, were homeschooling their three boys, she now gets to encourage others in their own homeschool journeys. Even though she graduated her youngest in 2022, she loves aiding families throughout California, including a PSP in her home church. Above all, she cherishes her role as a grandmother and finds great joy in spending time with her two granddaughters.
Workshop titles and speaker assignments will be posted here as they are finalized.
