Suggested workshop ideas include:  Leadership Development; Advocacy Topics; Membership Growth; Health, Wellness, and Child Safety; Family Engagement; and Education Topics.  

Leadership Development:  PTA volunteers and leaders work behind the scenes and boots on the ground to provide support to their schools and community.  Proposals submitted should provide participants with leadership skills to assist in efficiently running a PTA unit, how to work with volunteers, conflict resolution skills, understanding Federal and State non-profit regulations, networking, program ideas and more.

Advocacy Topics:  PTA members have historically been strong advocates speaking up for children, families, and public education.  Proposals submitted can cover any hot topic (legislative or informational) from school funding, legislative hot topics, to the ABC's of grassroots lobbying as a non-profit.  Remember that advocacy is not always legislative.

Membership Growth:  A successful PTA embraces diversity and inclusion, and encourages volunteers from every background to reflect the school community.  Proposals submitted can cover membership building, increasing and motivating volunteerism, and more.
