Message from the President
The 2021-2023 term is completed. While the term for the 2021-2023 board and officers is nearing the end, I am very proud of this board of directors. We’ve done some heavy lifting. We were on the ground co-sponsoring town halls about student funding, webinars informing about student funding; we promoted the refreshed national family-school partnerships, and advocated with a legislative tracker, adopted new resolutions and position statements. We celebrated student artists at the Student Awards Ceremony. We partnered with other like-minded organizations to amplify our advocacy voice. We partnered to host a statewide mental health of students town hall. We communicated through newsletters, social media channels, a blog, MemberHub emails, and our website. This board has done a lot.
And we sold the state office building in Nashville and re-established a new office
building in Knoxville.
Indeed, what a two-year term!
This newsletter is filled with the required information: our financial report, membership report, legislative report, and board report. We also have some pictures from our celebration at the Students Award Ceremony held at the Brentwood Library on June 3rd!
Will you help us to remain an advocate for children and youth? Help us by joining the PTA for the 2023-2024 year!
PTA was founded as an advocacy association. Read our PTA Mission statement—
you will find the word advocate in the statement. What other parent-teacher group has been around for 125 years advocating for children and youth? Not one single
organization beyond PTA!
Dwight Hunter
President, Tennessee PTA
