PTA Annual Convention 2010, Sacramento
It's Not Too Early To Plan
Has your PTA prepared its budget for the year? Have you budgeted for the 2010 convention?
If your budget does not include funds for convention, amend it now to include them! Local unit bylaws state that the president-elect is entitled to attend the California State PTA Annual Convention, but additional delegates may be sent. Begin the conversation now.
One of the purposes of convention is professional development. Skill-building is a priority for all board members. In addition, convention provides attendees the opportunity for advocacy, education, training, and networking on programs that work.
The 2010 Convention will be held in Sacramento this coming year. Start planning now!
