WASHINGTON STATE PTA ANNOUNCES NEWLY

Board

Tacoma,
WA (July 2, 2015):
The Washington State PTA (WSPTA), the largest volunteer child advocate association
in the state, announced the 2015-2016 board of directors. The board of
directors will convene for the first time July 10 – 12, 2015 for a strategic
planning session. The strategic planning session is designed to strengthen
leadership and provide support to the newly installed officers, and ultimately,
create the framework of the association for the next two years.
“Each day we, as
WSPTA members, work with great passion advocating at every
level on behalf of our kids. These inspiring actions move us
towards fulfilling our vision, making
every child's potential a reality,” states newly installed Washington State
PTA President, Barbara Martin. “It must be realized in every decision we
make as the state's premier child advocacy association.”
During the planning
session, the WSPTA board of directors will commit to increasing effective
family and community engagement, increase the number of PTA leaders, and ensure
that the WSPTA continues the mission that PTA is a powerful voice for children,
a relevant resource for families, schools and communities, and is an advocate
for the well-being and education of all children.
“My passion is
working for children, schools, and PTA,” said Mary Levesque, Region 7 Director.
“When we work together to achieve common goals, we can help children reach
their full potential.”
