Georgia. At the State Advocacy Conference, hosted annually by Georgia
PTA, learn to be more effective advocates for children while participating
in establishing the Georgia PTA legislative platform. Learn

PTA
Day at the Capitol
February 24, 2009 - State Capitol
This annual event is held in February when the state legislature
is in session. PTA Day at the Capitol provides PTA leaders, members
and supporters an opportunity to become more familiar with the legislative
process and to actively speak with legislators about education and
children’s issues. Develop and put your advocacy skills to
work under the Gold Dome and over lunch with your state legislators.
Bring a van full of PTA members – all wearing red –
and let your voice for children be seen and heard.
