Outstanding Advocate Nomination Form
The Outstanding Advocate is a PTA award whose winner(s) support causes for all children and youth. Advocacy includes, but is not limited to, those who are active in legislative issues on a state or national level. Individuals who work with the district or with their school administrators on student issues are also advocates. Volunteers who speak up for the students who can’t are advocates. Volunteers who try to change things for the benefit of children at a local unit, district, state or national level are advocates. An outstanding advocate could be a PTA grassroots advocate, teacher, assistant, administrator or community member.volunteer in ways that meet the mission of PTA: promoting the health, welfare, safety and education of ALL children and youth in the home, school, community and place of worship.
Anyone may receive an Outstanding Advocate Award; however, this is a PTA award honoring advocacy for children and youth beyond the scope or responsibilities of a job and PTA. We do encourage all nominees be current PTA members.
Please be as specific as possible in your responses. The PTA Awards Scoring Rubric is based on this criteria.
