THANK YOU for helping our council surpass its membership goal! It was truly a team effort! But the school year is not over! There is still time to join PTA!
The "Great PTA Sign-up Day" was a huge success! Thank you to all of our district leaders for participating! Our council set a goal of 222 members for the day of October 26 (a one-day objective), and after all membership totals were added we had surpassed that goal and ALL of our 27 local PTAs added members as part of this event. We would like to express our gratitude to all PTAs for taking part in the Great PTA Sign-up Day. Without your help, this wouldn't have been possible, and we saw a noticeable increase in membership every hour. We appreciate all of the membership chairs and leaders who were able to promptly add members to the system. We are incredibly lucky to be a part of this large team.
As a "thank you" as well as part of an added incentive from the "Great PTA Sign-up Day" event, Mr. Craig Willis, President of the Everett PTSA Council, and Dr. Ian Saltzman, Superintendent of Everett Public Schools, were excited to each receive pies-in-the-face from local PTA leaders and students on December 1, 2022.

MEMBERPLANET - YOUR DATABASE FOR PTA MEMBERSHIP
Washington State PTA has partnered with memberplanet to provide a new membership database! Up-to-date information is available on the official WSPTA-memberplanet website. Every 1-2 weeks, WSPTA sends out a Membership Database Newsletter to inform admins, membership chairs, and any other leaders interested in keeping up to date with the process and features of the new database system.
Memberplanet is currently working on Region and Council interface, Communications, and Reports. Specific training for Council and State leaders will be scheduled to prepare you to manage the updated features of the system. WSPTA will send a notice as soon the training is available.
IMPORTANT: If you receive an email from a local PTA leader with a question about memberplanet, please reply to the email with "Cc:" to support@wastatepta.org so WSPTA staff can answer the question. As always, you are welcome to contact our Co-VPs of Membership (Serena Peterson and Beenish Iqbal) if you have any questions related to memberplanet and/or PTA membership.

WHY JOIN PTA?
(Click here for National pdf flyer for families and here for schools)
The strength of your PTA lies in its membership—the parents, teachers, school administrators, business leaders, and community members who devote themselves to making a positive difference in the lives of children. Members are the lifeblood of PTA and provide the passion, leadership, and hard work needed to fulfill PTA’s Mission. When you become a member of your PTA/PTSA, you also become a member of Washington State (the largest volunteer association dedicated to the well being of ALL children in Washington State) and National PTA. Additionally, you become a part of the national effort to improve the education, health, and welfare of every child. PTA and PTSA membership numbers count in a significant way when our representatives are lobbying for funding for education in the legislature or congress.

WSPTA MEMBERSHIP NEWS AND RESOURCES
Membership Slogan Reminds Us That We Can Change the World
Your PTA can change the world. It can turn a school building into a second home. It can expose children to the arts for the very first time. It can welcome marginalized populations, foster new ideas, and speak up for all children. But, just as you must power up a device before using it, you must supply the power to your PTA before it can move mountains.
First, you need members. Your PTA's voice is determined by its membership. The more people who join your PTA, the louder and stronger your PTA's collective voice becomes.
Now more than ever, PTA leaders are getting pulled in a million directions, and it can be hard to stay focused on what's important when there are so many events and ideas competing for your attention. That's why Washington State PTA is excited to present its new membership slogan, which serves as a reminder for us all that we can change the world.
But first, we need members.

WHERE DO YOUR MEMBERSHIP FEES GO?Click here for this helpful flyer that explains that Washington State PTA’s revenues come primarily from membership services fees (67%), convention (17%), and award sales (7%) with the balance made up of fees for Legislative Assembly and region conferences, fundraising affinity pro- grams, and interest on investments.
The information below explains how those revenues are used to serve WSPTA’s local units and councils, and through them our 150,000 members. WHERE DO YOUR DUES GO?Click here for a map that shows how your dues are distributed.
