Don't miss the 9 Million Reasons To Speak Up for Children Rally
April 29
Invest in yourself and your PTA while showing support for children by attending the annual convention
If you are interested in the issues affecting children and youth in California, there's no better place than convention to become more informed, involved and inspired.

At 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 29, we will be holding a rally at the Capitol to help kick off convention. Join us in calling on the Legislature and the Governor to keep their promise to California's children and prevent any further budget cuts to education or children's services. Raise your voice and help speak up for the more than 9 million children in California.

The annual convention is also a great place to brush up on your advocacy skills and hear the latest legislative news. Special workshops cater to advocates' interests, including:
  • Legislation - Hot Topics in Sacramento
  • From Issues to Action - Making a Difference Through Advocacy
  • Federal Legislation: How It Affects California's Children
  • What Every PTA President Needs To Know About Advocacy
California State PTA leaders will be joined by other key state leaders, policymakers and their staff members to discuss critical legislative and budget matters.

Whether you're a new PTA leader or an experienced advocate, convention is the place to help speak up for children.

The California State PTA's Annual Convention is the ultimate event where training, networking and inspiration all come together.

Sacramento, April 29-May 2.
