And What About Awards??

It’s fall, and that means it is time to start thinking ahead about awards for PTA. Here are a few for you to be looking at and planning for:

Alaska PTA Honor Unit
To receive the Honor Unit award the criteria requires a local PTA unit to have well trained leaders, to be responsive to its membership, and to focus its activities on the needs of children. In addition, the unit must demonstrate basic financial management practices which help preserve the non-profit status of PTA.

Each unit must successfully complete all three categories of the criteria as outlined on the application form. Honor Units will be acknowledged and will receive their certificates at the Alaska PTA Convention in April.
