Membership

Join the Empire State PTSA Unit

August, 2009

Dear PTA Colleagues,

Empire State PTSA (ESPTSA) is a statewide unit formed in 1979, thirty years ago, for those who may no longer be associated with their local school or PTA unit but are still child advocates. However, anyone who is a member of a local PTA unit can also join the ESPTSA as a way of showing support for the organization as a whole. You all are, of course, still very active in PTA and as the leaders of our organization, are in the best possible position to see the “big picture” of what the “whole organization” and its goals really means. It has become for me the preferred method of purchasing my own membership every year and supporting the entirety of PTA’s mission.

Membership in the ESPTSA unit is another way to market PTA and the good work of our organization because members can choose to receive the New York Parent Teacher periodical (and Fast Facts mailings in alternate months). These outstanding publications give a fine overview of the work of the organization even if someone is long past parenting school age children.

Consider all the possibilities of gifting a membership to a special child advocate in your family or area. It comes directly from a leader in the organization, YOU, to spouses, parents, other family members and friends, as well as education colleagues. It also helps you to share your own passion for the work of the organization, add more voices to our advocacy efforts and lets them understand a bit why we do what we do for PTA.

Additional family members can join at $10.00 per person and will receive no mailings. Wouldn’t it be great to have every unit and council represented in the Empire State unit! Thank you so much for your consideration and all you do for PTA!
