Lewis Thomason and EdLegal were proud to host their First Annual Special Education Conference on September 18 in Knoxville. With more than 200 attendees and overwhelming interest from education professionals across the region, the inaugural event was a tremendous success. We have been grateful for the positive feedback received from attendees, many of whom have already asked that the conference become an annual event. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create a day focused on learning, collaboration, and advancing special education excellence. Chris W. McCarty, Lewis Thomason shareholder, is the founder of EdLegal. He founded the company to expand his commitment to delivering quality continuing education opportunities to education professionals. Throughout his legal career, he has been a popular speaker, guest lecturer, and educator, parlaying those talents to form EdLegal in 2025.
We look forward to building on this momentum in the years ahead.
