WSPTA has changed the date of this event from its original date (Jan. 8) to Thursday, January 9, 2025, due to panelist availability. The time will remain the same.
Join Legislative Consultant Marie Sullivan and leaders of the Washington State Legislature for a discussion about priorities during the 2025 Legislative Session.
Confirmed speakers coming soon.
WSPTA has selected February 10-14, 2025, for when we will sharpen our advocacy for our Top 5 legislative issues. During this week, WSPTA will send action alerts to members who have signed up to help. Each action alert will provide an easily customizable message that the system will automatically forward to your legislators on your behalf. It is easy to do, only takes a few minutes, and helps boost our advocacy efforts. Your voice matters!
Sign up here for action alerts
Your actions throughout this week will be quick and easy but will make a tremendous impact. It will be so easy that you can take action from home, while waiting for a coffee order, or sitting in your child’s pick-up line! We also encourage you to share your advocacy work on your personal and PTA social media accounts throughout the week using the hashtag #WSPTAOneVoice.
Join WSPTA for Focus Day on Monday, February 17, 2025, in Olympia! Come advocate to close the funding gaps and ensure financial stability for schools and other vital issues that impact students around the state! All WSPTA members are welcome. Bring your children to join in the fun! We need your stories, we need your voice, we need you!
New Venue: WSPTA reserved space across the street from the Capitol at the United Churches of Olympia (110 11th Ave SE, Olympia) to network with fellow PTA advocates and hear from lunchtime speaker Chris Reykdal, WA Superintendent of Public Instruction. Please note that WSPTA is not in the Columbia Room at the Capitol this year.
The venue will be open from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. The agenda is available on Eventbrite and will be included in the Focus on Advocacy newsletter as updates are made. In addition, we will be offering docent-led tours of the Capitol grounds (limited availability) and box lunches at an additional charge.
We are encouraging members to schedule meetings with their legislators this day (even if you need to schedule remote meetings). It is important to reach out to legislators as soon as possible.
The event is free. Information on the venue and parking can be found here. Register today!
