The state is entitled to one delegate for every 1,000 members statewide. The California State PTA Board of Managers selects delegates and alternates.
The convention purposes are to:
- Inform and give a nationwide view of PTA;
- Provide an opportunity to network with other delegates from throughout the nation; and
- Consider resolutions and bylaw amendments and elect officers. (Delegates are not involved in other business of the National PTA.)
Attending the National PTA convention is not intended to create a financial hardship on units or councils. If the expense is not in the PTA budget, a special fundraising event may be held.
