Georgia PTA is seeking dynamic workshop presenters for its annual 2010 PTA Convention and Leadership Training to be held on June 25-26, 2010 at the Georgia International Convention Center (near Hartsfield Jackson Airport). This event is the largest training forum for our membership (over 1,400 attendees) focusing on core educational and leadership opportunities designed to enable our leaders to become outstanding in their various areas of management. Attendees engage their communities, connect with their school boards and elected officials, and motivate members to work on behalf of all children. They influence school decisions and legislation affecting the well being of children and actively seek out programs, ideas, and tools to help their PTAs and school communities.

Please take this opportunity to share your organization, expertise, and creativity with PTA leaders across the state by submitting a proposal for presentation.  Learn more...
