By the California State PTA Convention Commission
The countdown has officially begun! The California State PTA Convention will take place in Fresno from April 30–May 3, and now is the perfect time to start planning to attend this exciting and inspiring event. Whether you are a first-time convention attendee or a returning participant, Convention offers leadership, training, and connection for everyone.
PTA Convention is more than just meetings; it’s a powerful opportunity to grow as a leader, gain new skills, and connect with PTA members from across the state. Attendees will have access to engaging workshops, hands-on training, inspiring speakers, and opportunities to share ideas that can strengthen your local PTA and school communities. Planning early helps with travel arrangements, budgeting, and scheduling. Be sure to start those conversations now with your board and members about sending delegates and attendees.
As we prepare for Convention, we’re also approaching Founders’ Day next month, a special time to reflect on the history and mission of PTA. Founders’ Day reminds us why this work matters. Our current actions, advocating for children, supporting families, and building strong school communities, are based on the PTA principles of the last 129 years. Attending Convention is a meaningful way to honor our founders by continuing their legacy through leadership, service, and education.
Mark your calendar, share with your PTA, and start planning now for April 30 to May 3 in Fresno. We can’t wait to come together to learn, lead, and celebrate the strength of PTA at Convention!
