Workshop Descriptions
Presidents/Vice Presidents - First Time: Brand new and haven’t got a clue? This is the class for you! Learn the legal responsibilities of being a board member in a non-profit organization including such topics as presiding at a meeting, fiscal responsibility, procedure books and delegating.
Presidents/Vice Presidents - Returning: Already have the basics? This class will teach you about team building, goal setting and strategic planning - plus provide answers to all those questions from your first year in office.
Secretary: Yes, you can be a good secretary. Learn how to produce clean and concise minutes, how to maintain records effectively and the legal responsibility of the secretary’s position.
Treasurer: This class provides what you need about your duties as treasurer, including information about insurance and taxes. As the financial officer of your local Unit, you have one of the most important positions on the board.
Membership is Everyone’s Business: Unit members are your PTA’s most valuable asset. Learn how to reach them more effectively while expanding your membership base to include the school staff and members of the community.
Running a Successful PTA Program Year: Learn how to plan a single program or the programs for the entire year including activities, events and special presentations that target the needs of your school and community. Find our how your Unit can receive recognition at the State and National Level.
Reflections: Learn how to have your unit participate in this excellent Arts Encouragement and Recognition Program and let the children discover how “I Can Make a Difference By...”
Getting Parents (and others) Involved in the School: Get ideas to help the Volunteer Coordinator recruit, retain and recognize volunteers so you have a successful program at your school. Learn how to use PTA’s “Three for Me” as part of your parent involvement philosophy.
The What, Why and How of Councils: In baseball, this would be called “the farm team.” A council provides a wide variety of services to units and addresses local unit needs that are larger than can be met by a local unit on its own. This workshop will help local units understand how a council in a general area can benefit all the local units in that specific area. Through leadership training, community wide projects and working with a school district a council can provide a central network for local area PTAs.
Advocacy – How Your PTA Can Take a Position: What is the difference between advocacy and lobbying? How can your PTA take a position and what does it mean it you do?
