When you registered to attend, you were given the opportunity to download the convention app. If you did so, great! But be aware that the event will not be "published" until mid-April. So there is not a lot to see in the app just yet.

If you didn't download the app, don't worry! We will be communicating on the website and through this newsletter the download link as soon as the event is published and accessible. At that time, you will be able to see all of the options available to you to build out your personal agenda, create a profile, network with others, and so much more.

This year, the WSPTA board of directors is bringing forth four proposed amendments to the WSPTA Uniform Bylaws to the delegate body for debate and voting. The details of all four motions can be found on the Business Session webpage.

To help delegates better understand these proposals and to receive assistance in formulating any amendments, there will be two pre-convention sessions, May 5 and May 6, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm each evening.

The request for delegates survey will be sent to presidents on Friday, April 2. Presidents will complete the survey with those members authorized to be delegates for their PTA. Make sure your president knows you would like to be a designated delegate for your PTA. The deadline for presidents to submit the form is May 3 at 6:59 am.

Networking works best when there are many people that bring their unique perspectives and ideas to the table. We encourage you to share information about the convention with others. You can personally let a friend know or you can post on your Facebook page to let others know you are attending and share the registration link.

This year you will find more opportunities for meetups, the "One on One or More Room" (our re-envisioned coaching opportunity), networking lunch hours, roundtables, social times, engaging activities, and in-app opportunities. As we get closer to the event, we will be sharing information about these opportunities to help you get the most out of your convention experience.

We are grateful to our sponsors for their support of our 108th annual convention.
