MEMBERSHIP TIP: Plan Ahead to Make Founders Day Part of Your Membership Campaign
Founders’ Day is Coming! Start Planning for What You Can Do in February.
On February 17th each year, PTAs throughout California and the nation pause to celebrate our organization’s Founders’ Day. Learn more about the history and the work PTA has done in California and the Nation. When your PTA celebrates Founders’ Day you are helping parents in local schools and everyone in your community understand what the PTA does. Sharing our legacy of advocacy, the good that has been done, and inviting everyone to join us in support of the things we have yet to do, will help your families become more invested in your programs. Perhaps it will even inspire members in your community to join your PTA. Find resources and logos to celebrate 2023 Founders’ Day on our website
