QUESTION:
What
are the requirements for officer training for PTAs to be in good standing?
ANSWER:
During the 2011 Washington State PTA
Convention, a new bylaw was approved by delegates requiring that all executive
committee members of a local unit or council receive yearly state-PTA-approved
training in order to remain in good standing.* The amendment also required at
least one member of the local unit’s executive committee to attend a PTA &
the Law class.
Classes (including the PTA and the Law class) offered at
this year’s WSPTA Convention provide an opportunity to fulfill your PTA’s bylaw
requirement of obtaining PTA leadership training for the 2013-14 year. Registration information for the Convention
will be available on the WSPTA website soon.
*A unit in “good standing” is defined in the WSPTA Uniform Bylaws Article 5 Section
2(a) for local units and Article 6 Section 2(a) for councils.
