PTA has a long and proud history. For over 120 years, volunteers have spoken up for children and public education. Join us on April 7 to learn more about this history and to discuss today’s issues and how you can continue this legacy of advocating for every child!
Marques Ivey, National PTA Vice President for Advocacy will be joining us. He will be presenting a workshop, “Amplifying Your Voice through PTA’s Advocacy Priorities” and will be available throughout the day to speak with you and answer your questions.
Our Awards Dinner will recognize the successes of YOU and our local units, as well as the installation of your newly elected Massachusetts PTA officers. There’s still time to apply for many of these awards. Entries are due March 18. 
Welcome to our photo gallery from our first Health Summit! We are so pleased to be sharing these images of our presenters, sponsors, vendors, speakers and attendees.
Please share with us any health, safety and wellness initiatives that you may be involved with. If you have any inquiries or want additional information contact Jackie Coogan, MA PTA Health Chair.
Each summer, information for Presidents, Vice Presidents, Treasurers, Secretaries, along with information for Membership, Advocacy, Fundraising, Health, and Reflections Chairs, makes this event a unique energizing start to everyone’s PTA year. Get up to date on the latest rules and regulations from the IRS and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, sharpen your leadership and advocacy skills, learn about programs and grants, and take advantage of the networking opportunities.
We are requesting that each PTA send a representative to virtual summer leadership as the Massachusetts PTA standards of affiliation require that someone from each PTA attend at least one training each year. The person attending does not have to be an officer of the PTA, it can be a member who is interested in moving up or if there is someone that you think would be good to move up, or just a representative from the school. This is an excellent opportunity for any member who wants to know more about what PTA has to offer. Everyone is welcome; we hope that you and your other members will join us.
We are offering a number of dates – pick the one that you would like to attend (these sessions are scheduled for 2 hours each):
