QUESTION:
Why
should our PTA spend our hard-earned money to send members to the WSPTA Convention?
ANSWER:
Sending delegates to the WSPTA Convention
is a legitimate PTA expense that will profit your PTA in many ways!
· Convention classes offer leadership training
that will help your new officers and make sure your PTA is on the right road to
success. Your PTA needs to fulfill its training requirement for next year
anyway, so why not take advantage of this comprehensive leadership training
opportunity?
· Convention is the platform for your PTA to
participate in the decision-making process regarding the direction of the association.
Your PTA will have the opportunity to vote on bylaw amendments, resolutions and
candidates for statewide offices.
· Convention offers a unique opportunity to educate
your leaders on topics concerning our children. By the end of the weekend, your
PTA leaders will come to a deeper understanding of the strength of this
association in advocating for children. This will help energize and inspire
them as volunteer leaders for the upcoming year.
· Convention is the place PTA leaders go to exchange
ideas, create contact lists, collect resources, and much more! For information
and to register for the WSPTA Convention, go to the WSPTA website.
