Seeking Delegates for Legislative Assembly

September 19, 2021

Cherry Crest PTSA is looking for 3 more members to represent us as voting delegates at the Virtual Washington State PTA Legislative Assembly on October 23-24. Please send in your name to president@cherrycrest-ptsa.org before Oct 10, 2021, if interested.

Washington State Parent Teacher Association (WSPTA) is a non-profit organization that advocates for the well-being and education of all children. This October PTA/PTSA members across Washington State will gather virtually to debate and vote on proposed or amended resolutions that impact WSPTA’s platform for advocacy. During the two-day assembly, attendees can also attend education sessions focused on current issues and advocacy basics. Listen, learn, and lend your voice to issues important to your family!

Want to learn more, but not interested in being a voting delegate? All PTSA members are invited to register and attend online. The cost is $40.00. Not a PTA member yet? Join the Cherry Crest PTSA today and register to attend the Assembly!
