Join us for ‘Northshore PTAs Connect’ – an online roundtable discussion for PTA/PTSA leaders to ask questions, share ideas, and connect with one another.

​Northshore PTAs Connect Roundtables are designed to support our local PTA/PTSA leaders as we navigate membership, programs, and managing our organizations in an uncertain and ever-changing landscape.

This evening (7pm) roundtable will feature a focused discussion on the topic of DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Local leaders will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what DEI is and how it translates to work at the local PTA level. While the focus will be on DEI, Northshore PTAs Connect Roundtables are an open discussion and there is always opportunity to ask questions and tackle emerging or ongoing areas of interest or concern.

Questions? Contact Council!

As you begin to coordinate your 2021-2022 membership plans, think about the reasons why families and staff should join.

• What makes your PTA unique? 
• What support do you provide for students, families, and staff?
• What enrichment programs do you offer your school and community?

These things can be anything from communications to staff grants and everything in between. Highlighting these things anytime you promote joining your PTA/PTSA will encourage more members to join.

This year it's more important than ever to kick off your campaign and start entering those memberships because Washington State PTA has a **new** requirement. This year, in order to remain in good standing, your PTA/PTSA must have at LEAST 25 members entered into memberplanet by October 31, 2021 AND must enter any memberships received into memberplanet no more than 30 days after someone joins. Why is it important to remain in good standing? If you want to attend convention, send in reflections submissions, apply for awards, or apply for grants you must be in good standing. (Click here for all SOA requirements.)

One way to increase your membership this year is to make sure it is EASY to join online. We have compiled a list of all our local PTAs/PTSAs with a link directly to your site to join online, so make sure your links are up to date. This makes each PTA/PTSA more accessible to members of our community, school board, and even district admin who might be looking to join. 

Please know you can contact us anytime with questions or to help you brainstorm ideas for your membership campaign.

Reminder: Council will be hosting a Northshore PTAs Connect Roundtable this Thursday, August 26th @ 7PM. This Roundtable will focus on membership. Membership is everyone's job, so all officers are welcome to join!

Additionally, please email your membership chair name(s) and contact information to us ASAP so they can be added to all communications about membership.
