Washington State PTA’s vision is that every child’s potential becomes a reality. For that to happen, all parents and guardians must be empowered to advocate for their children’s success. Toward that end, WSPTA will be conducting its 2nd Emerging Minority Leaders Conference. The conference is patterned after a series of similar conferences that National PTA has conducted in recent years and has three goals:

Empower minority parents to advocate for their children:

• Identify barriers faced by minority parents in advocating for their children and develop strategies for overcoming them; and
• Identify leadership qualities that you already have to advocate for your children at home, school and in your community; and
• Identify strategies for Washington State PTA to make sure its membership and leadership reflects the student population we serve.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Washington State PTA Emerging Minority Leaders Conference offers you an opportunity to enhance your leadership skills, network with community leaders from within and outside of PTA, and learn more about PTA and its vision that every child’s potential become a reality.  In addition to inspiring speakers at the opening and closing sessions, attendees will choose up to four classes that have been selected as of particular interest to minority parents.  There will also be a special presentation by Book-It All Over, a touring theater group.  Plan now to come, learn, be inspired and have some fun!!.
