This is the most important and useful class of them all, as it will prepare you and your fellow officers to run your PTA with an eye toward the important legal and fiscal requirements in running a nonprofit. PTA and the Law deals with state and federal rules and regulations relevant to running a charitable, tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation in the state of Washington, and will explain how these rules impact your PTA. PTA and the Law is a required class for at least one elected officer per PTA each year.
WSPTA Region 2 (that’s us!) PTA leaders have an upcoming in-person opportunity to attend free training classes, including “Managing Your Nonprofit PTA,” “Nominating Committee,” “Easy Opportunities for Advocacy” and more.
Register here. Questions? Contact ptareg2@wastatepta.org.
