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.
Are you starting to plan your budget for the coming year? Join WSPTA as we answer your budget questions and talk about how to build a budget narrative to increase your members’ understanding of your finances.
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!
