The Purpose and Mission of PTA state that a primary focus of PTA is "to speak on behalf of children and youth" and "to secure adequate laws for [their] care and protection..." Legislative work for children and youth must be a unified effort of local members with Council, Region, and Utah PTA officers.
Each member of PTA has an important place in PTA advocacy. Utah PTA and National PTA resolutions are the corner pieces of our work. The Utah PTA Board of Directors and Legislative Advocacy Committee form the framework.
A change can be initiated when Utah PTA or National PTA recognizes a need and rallies the local PTAs and members to bring about changes to benefit our children. Any member, with the support of their local PTA, can begin the process by submitting resolutions for adoption at the annual Leadership Convention.
Resolutions to be voted on by the General Membership will be posted here at least 14 days prior to the next General Membership Business Meeting.
Please read this resolutions and be prepared to vote on them at Convention. Resolutions direct the advocacy work Utah PTA does now and in the future. Your voice and vote matter. Come to Leadership Convention and use that vote and voice.
