The role of secretary is about more than just taking meeting minutes. Join this training to learn the ins and outs of filling this essential office.
This is a WSPTA-approved training, ideal for secretaries but open to any PTA officer. LWPTSA Council will be leading this free virtual training, which will count toward the WSPTA training requirement for the 2025-26 year.
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.
This “President 101” training class, led by LWPTSA Council, is WSPTA-approved and will count toward your required yearly training hours.
This WSPTA-approved training session will help all PTA/PTSA board members understand the basic responsibilities of their positions—and everyone else’s! We will review the basic elected PTA positions (president, secretary & treasurer), and we’ll also cover topics such as advocacy, fiduciary responsibility, membership and outreach. This training is ideal for anyone new to a local PTA board, as well as any board officer who could benefit from a comprehensive overview of the board’s responsibilities in the PTA realm.
This official training will be led by LWPTSA Council, and will count toward your 2025-2026 training requirement.
Come learn how to run a successful Reflections program at the local or council level. Learn the new updates from National PTA.
