Citrus County PTA members Attend State PTA Leadership Training

            Thirteen PTA leaders representing 5 local PTAs/PTSAs and the County Council PTA from Citrus County attended the 71^st Annual Florida PTA Leadership Conference in Innisbrook, Florida this July.  They joined nearly 1000 other PTA members from around the state to learn how to be effective PTA officers, what programs are available for PTAs to offer at their schools, and more about the mission of PTA.   A Healthy and Safe Kids Fair, a vendor’s fair and Family Fun Night were also highlights of the conference.

            PTA leaders are encouraged to participate in the Florida PTA Leadership Certification Program.  Workshops are provided at State Conventions and Conferences.  They include topics designed to help individuals have a better understanding of parliamentary procedure, bylaws, strategic planning, membership, program planning, budgets, resource development, taxes, financial management, legislation, platforms, lobbying, program advocacy and other topics.     

            On August 27 the Citrus County Council of PTAs/PTSAs will host countywide leadership training.  All PTA members are invited to attend.  If you are interested in attending or would like more information about PTA please contact CCCPTA President Rhonda Kauffman at rkauffman@cccpta.com.
