Message from the President — August 2008
Welcome back to PTA, School, and the 17th District!
There are exciting things happening for PTA right now, and this website (along with our Seventeena newsletter) is where you’ll find out all about them.
The website is maintained by our webmaster, Douglas Bell, and the Seventeena is created each month by our editor, Catherine Steffen and our Communications Vice President, Lori McBride, in order to provide Council and Unit leaders with helpful information from National, State, and District PTAs. This information is intended for you to share with all members of your board.
California State PTA is hosting an Emerging Minority Leaders Conference on Saturday, September 20th, 2008 at the Hilton Oakland Airport, One Hegenberger Road, Oakland, CA 94621 (view map). This is the first conference of this type, created specifically to recognize and reinforce the importance of ethnic minority leaders in PTA’s future growth. It is designed to respond to the growing diversity in our public schools and communities and to help PTA serve all children and families. This conference is for you if you are an ethnic minority, are interested in growing as a PTA leader, and want an opportunity to share experiences with fellow emerging minority PTA leaders.
Registration is open to all unit, council, district, and state leaders. The registration fee of $65 covers conference materials and meals on Saturday. The registration deadline is September 2, 2008. Please contact me for an application and more information. Through the California Emerging Minority Leaders Conference, we will more fully develop PTA’s leadership statewide and move closer to fulfilling our vision of making every child’s potential a reality.
I look forward to another fantastic year with PTA and hope you do too!
–Deborah Kemper, 17th District PTA President
