2006 California State PTA Convention

STATE CONVENTION

The annual California State PTA Convention is held for the transaction of certain organization business and for the instruction, information, and inspiration of the PTA members.

PTA leaders at the unit, council, and district PTA levels change constantly, and each level of service in PTA requires different and unique qualities in an individual. Recognizing that development of skills will help each leader realize his or her greatest potential; the California State PTA seeks to ensure that the annual convention, through general meetings and conferences, provides the opportunity to focus on leadership training.

The annual convention affords the membership in California, acting through its accredited delegates, an opportunity to participate in:

• Electing officers;
• Approving bylaw amendments;
• Voting on the Legislation Platform and Legislation Policies; and
• Adopting resolutions.

PURPOSE

According to the California State PTA Bylaws, each association in good standing is represented at the California State PTA Convention by the president-elect or president and all other elected delegates to whom the association is entitled, as well as elected delegates representing the district and council PTAs.

The convention purposes are to

• Conduct the annual business of the California State PTA;
• Train, inform, and inspire PTA leadership; and
• Provide delegates the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other delegates from throughout the state.

The California State PTA strongly encourages its units, councils, and district PTAs to budget for and send as many delegates as entitled to each annual convention. Convention is an authorized expense to cover registration, housing, meal allowance, and transportation for each delegate. Convention expenses should be a line item in the unit, council and district PTA annual budgets. (The Budget 5.2, 205; Fig. 5-3, 206) Planning for convention and providing an opportunity for delegates to attend is a membership priority.
