You spoke and we listened – we've combined Convention and Leadership Training into ONE spectacular event to be held July 11-12, 2008 at the Georgia International Convention Center. This event is designed for both outgoing and incoming officers, committee chairs, principals, superintendents, school board members, as well as any PTA members. Consider the local unit, leadership and personal benefits of attending. History proves attendees gain training and confidence in their new positions, become more knowledgeable about program and membership ideas, participate in many networking opportunities, observe and learn parliamentary procedures, and, of course, return to their PTA with enthusiasm and excitement for the upcoming year.

Amend your budget, if needed, and plan to have your PTA leaders attend Convention and Leadership Training. You will pickup your membership cards and Leadership Resource Guide; celebrate your PTA's accomplishments; visit exhibits; and receive the latest information regarding PTA programs such as Membership, Reflections, Parent Involvement, Health Habits Grants, what's hot on the Legislative front and much, much more! Join us on July 11-12, 2008 as we… Educate. Celebrate. Communicate.
