2024 Annual Meeting Announcement

Thank you for joining your local PTA! When you joined, you became a valued member of the Washington State PTA (WSPTA). This message is to inform you of some upcoming important business WSPTA will be conducting, and how you can participate in the decisions. WSPTA has elected to proceed under subsection 6 of RCW 24.03A.405.

There are two major types of decisions that will be voted on at our annual meeting, which will be held as part of our Convention on May 18-19, beginning at 9:00 AM. Complete information about the Convention and Annual Meeting, including registration, can be found on the Convention and Annual Meeting pages of our website. If you are interested in being a voting delegate, please contact your PTA President. Voting delegates should register before noon on May 6. 

What will be voted on at the meeting?

First, just like your local PTA, WSPTA needs to elect a nominating committee.  

Two members have nominated themselves to serve on the 2024-2026 Nominating Committee:

  • Bethanie Clark
  • Teri Davis

Second, like all nonprofit organizations, WSPTA operates based on a set of rules determined by our members. These WSPTA Uniform Bylaws also govern how local PTAs operate, so they are very important for all PTAs in Washington. At the annual meeting, delegates will be considering several proposed changes to the bylaws and resolutions.

Look for more details soon on our website. We hope to see you at our convention and annual meeting in Lynnwood, on May 17-19, 2024!

Advocacy Submission Process Open

Any PTA member is encouraged to submit an issue, resolution, or legislative principle that addresses concerns that affect children on a state-wide level. As a grassroots association, we rely on our members to provide the priorities that we will advocate for at the state level and within our communities. Learn more about our legislative priorities here and the history of our advocacy efforts here.

At the 2024 Legislative Assembly, delegates will debate and vote on these submissions and whether to add them to our platform. This year is especially important as we will be voting on a new Top 5 to focus on over the next two years.

The submission process is now open! For complete instructions and deadlines for submitting, visit the new Submissions page.
