WSPTA is excited to present the first of an interactive three-part leadership workshop series. Join us as we start the workshops with an overview recognizing different styles of leadership as well as beginning discussions on the types of issues a leader may need to address. The following sessions on March 18th and April 8th, will address some practical tasks involved with many public-facing PTA leadership positions. We’ll work on preparation for presenting and facilitating both virtually and in-person. Come for some great discussions and coaching! It’s recommended you register for all three if interested in attending. Space is limited, so register now!
