Registration is now open for the 2010 State PTA Legislation Conference, which will take place on Sunday, February 21-Monday, February 22, 2010 in Sacramento. This year’s theme is “Connecting the Dots: From Issues to Advocacy.” Come learn from education policy experts and State PTA advocates about the major issues affecting children and families, what PTA’s positions are on these issues, and strategies to use when you meet with your legislators. Time will be provided on Monday afternoon for appointments with your local legislators.

The conference fee covers all conference activities and materials, and dinner on Sunday and lunch at the capitol on Monday. The hotel serves a complimentary full cooked-to-order breakfast daily and a manager’s reception in the evening. Travel and hotel costs are not included.
