Alaska PTA Military Family Dialogues
The Alaska Parent-Teachers Association has received a grant from the Alaska Legislature to conduct a series of dialogues to discuss Alaska’s capacity to support its military and military families in Kodiak, Fairbanks and Anchorage. There will be panel discussions and guest speakers to address specific concerns with opportunities for the audience to discuss additional issues that affect military families. We will collect ‘good practices’, identify what services are most needed and provide information about services for families that are current.
The results of the three dialogues will published and distributed to all State PTA’s, Alaska Legislature, Alaska’s Federal Delegation, National Military Family Association and made available on the Alaska PTA website.
