Seeking Delegates for Advocacy

Seeking Delegates for Advocacy
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 to amend current issues or to add new, emerging issues to the supported list for WSPTA’s platform for advocacy. During the two-day assembly, attendees can also attend education sessions focused on current issues and advocacy basics. You can pick and choose what to attend. Listen, learn, and lend your voice to issues important to your family!

All PTA members are invited to register and attend online. The cost is $35.00. Not a PTA member yet? Join the Cherry Crest PTSA today and then register(https://whova.com/portal/registration/legis_202310/) to attend the Assembly.
Want a more active role? Cherry Crest PTSA is looking for 3 more members to represent us as voting delegates. Register(https://whova.com/portal/registration/legis_202310/) yourself as a voting delegate by noon on Thursday, October 5th. Questions? Contact legislativerep@cherrycrest-ptsa.org.
