Local PTA Advocacy Committee

http://ncpta.org/index.php/advocacy/local-pta-advocacy-committee/

“The goal of the local PTA advocacy committee chair is to inform the membership about education issues and North Carolina PTA legislative goals. Advocacy committee chairs can help the members become effective advocates. How this is achieved is up to each advocacy committee chair. There are no set rules to follow, but the following suggestions provide ideas for getting members involved, informed and active.”
