Since COVID-19 forced us to cancel our Spring Convention last May, we've shifted the event to cyberspace to kick off the school year!  Join us for our 2020 Virtual Convention on September 11-12, 2020.  Convention is a must for both new and returning PTA Board Members, because it gives you a chance to:

  • Learn more about your PTA Board position and responsibilities
 
  • Collaborate and share ideas
 
  • Receive valuable training and information, including required officer training
 
  • Connect with other PTA leaders at the local, state, and national levels
 
  • Gain the tools necessary to conduct proper business meetings, take care of financial business, and so much more!
​
The 2020 Virtual European PTA Convention is also the only opportunity for our Local Units to come together and conduct the official business of our association, as required per our bylaws, so it is very important that at least one member from each Local Unit attends in order to establish a quorum!
