NOTE: This class was originally scheduled on 10/12 but moved due to a conflict.
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.
The financial management of the PTA is the responsibility of the entire board of directors. At this free, WSPTA-approved training, learn the basic financial skills to manage and track PTA funds, online accounts, legal obligations to maintain your tax-exempt status and other considerations. Recommended for all elected officers and board members.
This presentation will help participants understand the importance of the nominating committee, how to elect them, and methods of organization so they have the tools to help them recruit the best qualified candidates for the positions.
Participants will learn strategies for fostering positive and productive relationships with volunteers, board members and other adults who work with PTA in a variety of roles. It’s not always easy, but with some empathy, some careful listening and some strategies for when conflict arises, you can get the most from your PTA relationships.
