Register today for the California PTA Legislation Conference (March 20-21)
Meet and network with other advocates from across the state interested in learning more about key issues that affect children, youth and families. Spend two days participating in learning activities and hearing from legislative leaders and experts on issues you care about. During those two days, you will learn how to advocate directly with your state legislators. All PTA members (parents, teachers and students, and community members), anyone who is interested in learning more about how to be an effective voice for children is invited to attend.
Early bird registration extended to March 13! This is an allowable PTA expense for your PTA budget, but if your PTA can’t send you, fill out our sponsorship request form and we may be able to help provide funds. For more information about the conference, please go to the California PTA website.
Join us in Sacramento to celebrate 126 years of changing children’s lives! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to connect with PTA leaders from all across the state, receive training to be a more effective leader, participate in the business of the organization, and BE INSPIRED at the annual California State PTA Convention.
This year it will be in person in Sacramento from April 21 to 23. You can learn more about the convention and register on the CAPTA website; early bird registration ends, March 31. This is an approved PTA expense, so your PTA can allocate funds for you to go, and Second District PTA also has some funds available to pay folks’ registration and travel costs.
