A nomination committee is a key indicator of PTA health and is a WSPTA Bylaw and SOA requirement. This presentation will help participants understand the importance of the nominating committee, how to elect them, and methods of organization, so PTAs have the tools to help them recruit the best qualified candidates for the positions. A fair and impartial nomination process involves your membership and ensures your PTA’s success for many years into the future.
This will be a virtual presentation, hosted by Bellevue PTSA Council. Registrants will receive a Zoom link the day before the event. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nom-com-training-tickets-434085600717

The LWPTSA Sustainability Committee meets monthly and focuses on raising awareness around sustainable initiatives district-wide, sharing resources, and connecting with one another. Community members are always welcome.
The Sustainability Committee is made up of local chairs at schools across the district. The committee has worked on a range of issues, including food recovery, waste reduction, composting, green cleaning, no-idle zones, herbicide-free schools, and engaging and supporting students in their efforts to combat climate change and create a livable planet.
All local PTA leaders are invited to attend our monthly membership meetings held the first Thursday of the month during the school year. Each year three meetings are held in the evening. This year they are November, January and April.
In-person membership meetings will be held at the Lake Washington School District Resource Center in Redmond Town Center. The LWSD Resource Center address is: 16250 NE 74th St., Redmond WA 98052. Zoom meeting links for our December 2022 and May 2023 online meetings will be available in the Weekly Waves newsletter that all local PTA leaders receive.
