Greetings PTA Leader!

We hope you had a fantastic summer! Welcome to the 2024-25 PTA Term! Thank you for stepping into this important role within your local PTA. Your commitment to PTA sets the stage for a year brimming with amazing programs and activities for your school community. All of this is made possible by the hard work of not only you, but that of your executive board and the rest of your PTA volunteers.

As a local leader, your dedication to PTA is a powerful force for good in our schools and communities. PTA isn’t just about the events and activities, it’s also about the small, everyday actions that you take as a leader. It’s about taking the time to listen to the concerns and needs of your members and finding creative solutions to the challenges you face. It’s about making sure that every voice is heard and that everyone feels welcomed, valued, and included in the work of PTA.

This Leader Welcome Packet is filled with resources to help you and your PTA team start the year smoothly.

• Share the resources with your board and committee members.
• Download and share extra copies of anything you need from our website and use the many QR codes and links found in the online version of the packet.
• Check the PTA calendar on the website often to learn about new and exciting events and opportunities from California State PTA.
• Stay connected to your council and district leaders so you don’t miss out on local and regional opportunities for training or other programs.
• Visit the California State PTA Leaders’ site that is full of information just for you and your executive board.

As we begin this new year, our goal as California State PTA board members is to support you, our local leaders, in becoming the best leaders you can be. We are committed to providing you with the resources and materials to ease your responsibilities, streamline processes, and inspire you to “positively impact the lives of all children and families.” If you have any suggestions for us, please don’t hesitate to reach out—you can find our contact information on our website.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication to the PTA as well as the children and families of California.

By working together, we truly can make a difference every day with PTA!
