WSPTA Focus on Advocacy – Q&A “Office Hours” @ Virtual
Dec 12 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

WSPTA is hosting two virtual Q&A sessions where you can find out more about how Focus on Advocacy Day works and what you can expect from this year’s in-person Focus on Advocacy Day in Olympia (Jan. 15, 2024). This is an open opportunity to have your questions answered by experienced WSPTA advocates. There is no formal program, please just come by and get answers to your questions.

WSPTA Focus on Advocacy Day @ Washington State Capitol — Columbia Room
Jan 15 @ 9:00 am – 2:30 pm
WSPTA Focus on Advocacy Day @ Washington State Capitol — Columbia Room

WSPTA members and students are invited to put on their “PTA Blue” and join us IN PERSON in Olympia to advocate for children and schools with elected officials.

Gather in the Columbia Room to network and hear speakers. We will also be offering docent-led tours of the Capitol grounds. The event is from 9:00 am – 2:30 pm. The agenda with speakers listed will be added when available.

We are encouraging members to schedule meetings with their legislators this day (even if you need to schedule remote meetings). It is important to reach out to legislators as soon as possible, so here is a resource to help you with scheduling your meetings.

More details and information can be found on the Focus on Advocacy webpage

PTA and the Law (WSPTA Training) @ Virtual

This is the most important and useful class of them all, as it will prepare you and your fellow officers to run your PTA with an eye toward the important legal and fiscal requirements in running a nonprofit. PTA and the Law deals with state and federal rules and regulations relevant to running a charitable, tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation in the state of Washington, and will explain how these rules impact your PTA. PTA and the Law is a required class for at least one elected officer per PTA each year.
