2019-20 Leadership Webinars

NYS PTA proudly announces a third series of webinar training for local and region PTA leaders in 2019-20.

You will find it easy to train at home, at a PTA meeting, or with friends anywhere – all you need is a computer with a good internet connection, or a phone for a conference call.

Here’s a quick look at the schedule of upcoming topics:  

Family Engagement: Welcoming All Families in your School Community – Wed., November 13 @ 7:30 pm

Our school communities are becoming more and more diverse. Learn how to connect with your families and create an open and welcoming environment. If people feel comfortable and welcome they are more apt to become involved.

Building Great Relationships with School and District Leadership – Wed., December 18 @ 7:30 pm

Discover how you can work with school leadership to raise concerns, institute new ideas, and implement changes in your school building. Learn what it means to be an advocate in your school district, how to work with PTA members to raise parent concerns, and what information you’ll need to meet successfully with administrators or school boards.

The Region PTA: All about Region PTAs and what they do – Wed., January 15 @ 7:30 pm

Ever wonder how you can get that PTA question answered (from a reliable source)? Or who could help you with any issues you may be having with your PTA? One of the resources provided by NYS PTA is an appointed local leader in your area, a Region Director who oversees the Region PTA. Region PTAs can be of great assistance and provide training and other resources to your unit/council. Or, maybe you know about your Region PTA and are ready to take the next step in your PTA journey but aren’t sure of how to become a part of the Region PTA. Join us for an informative discussion on what YOUR Region PTA does, how it can help and how you can become a part of a Region board!

Nominations and Elections – Tues., February 25 @ 7:30 pm
Learn all about the job of the nominating committee and the way to conduct a successful PTA election, including how to form the nominating committee, help it function properly, run a valid election, handle nominations from the floor, and deal with any difficulties that arise.
