Whether you are just starting out with PTA or have been involved for years, there is a wealth of information here that you will find useful regardless of your PTA role. Make sure your fellow PTA officers and committee chairs are also aware of the resources available here to help them do their work. Browse through the membership and program resources to find new ways to engage your school’s families in your PTA.
Finally, if you can’t find information that you need here or if you have a program that your PTA does that other PTAs could find helpful, please contact your district or region director, or the Illinois PTA state office at info@illinoispta.org.
