What is the Washington State PTA?
When you join PTA, you join a local PTA unit. Your local PTA unit is a member of the Washington State PTA. The State PTA is the common thread that links nearly 900 local PTA units throughout the state. This thread is what gives PTA clout and prestige to influence state laws, policies and attitudes affecting your children. The State PTA exists to provide local PTA units and their members with services, material, and information to enable parents to protect and nurture your children in their schools and your communities. Specifically, some of the services provided by the Washington State PTA include: a daily representation in Olympia and at regulatory agencies where decisions are being made that will affect your children; leadership training; a website with parenting resources, the Child Advocate magazine; and quality leadership materials.
