Leadership Camp

Oregon PTA offers leadership training several times a year throughout the state and yesterday was our opportunity for local leadership training. We had four of our volunteers attend, two for the whole day and two for half a days training. My training is intended to prepare me for the treasurer position; Jay Thornhill attended the President/VP for new comers training; Felicia Espinoza and Deedee Wagner arrived in time for the region meetings, legislative updates, and an explanation of the new federal nutrition guidelines. We all then attended an inspirational training on programs. The "what, how, why's" of the programs we put together for our kids, that included brainstorming ideas for programs that could be developed for mock scenarios. No competition (my group did the best! :), just good fun and good practice for thinking creatively to create programs that serve our kids.

There will be a more in-depth look at some of the things to look for from our legislature this year, and a report on the new federal nutrition guidelines in another post.

Springfield PTA Council intends to offer other local training opportunities, for anyone interested just leave us a comment below or email us at brattainpta@gmail.com. There will also be extensive training and networking opportunities at the Oregon PTA Convention held every year in April. Four days of classes, networking, recognition, fundraising research, and good fun!

If you have any questions or just want more information just leave us a comment or drop us an email.

Thanks,
