About the Advocacy Committee
The Lake Washington PTSA Council is proud to announce the launch of the Advocacy Committee—a dynamic group open to PTA leaders, parents, staff and students from across the Lake Washington School District who share a passion for creating positive change in our schools and community.
This committee serves as a platform for learning, collaboration and action. It is thoughtfully designed to equip participants with the knowledge, tools and confidence needed to effectively advocate for the issues that matter most to their communities.
Join us and help make every voice heard!
