Leadership Training Offered For PTAs, PTSAs, Boosters and Non-profits

August 13, 2017

The Escambia County Council of PTA/PTSAs (ECCPTA) is hosting their Annual Leadership Training Event and Vendor Fair on Aug. 19, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Pensacola State College Library and Arena, 1000 College Boulevard.


“While the event is geared toward PTAs operating their individual units, we are also encouraging all of our schools’ Booster Clubs to attend as well, so that they can learn how to maintain compliance with ECSD’s Outside Support Organization procedures,” said ECCPTA President Michelle Salzman.

ECCPTA is also inviting local, non-profit, community based organizations to attend, so that they may also participate in training sessions covering leadership topics ranging from: creating a budget, taking minutes at meetings, filing 990 taxes, using simple Roberts Rules of Order, fund raising, creating meaningful programs, advocating for a cause, and many more!

The event will launch at 7:30 a.m. with a light breakfast and a welcome from the FLA State PTA President, as well as Escambia County’s School District Superintendent, Malcolm Thomas. Training will begin immediately following their greetings with over a dozen classes offered with three different class periods and time for break-out sessions, as well as time to network and brainstorm in between.

“We are excited to include boosters clubs and other non-profits this year, and to do this, we are also working with Pensacola State College for the first time. The morning’s kick off and training sessions will take place in the PSC Library, Building 20,” added Salzman. “After classes end, we will head over to Building 3 for lunch and a vendor fair with about 70 vendors from non-profit organizations as well as fund raising companies.”

The vendors will introduce attendees to many great and free program ideas, as well as the latest and greatest fund raising opportunities.

Salzman explained some other fun details about the day including a free breakfast and lunch for every per-registered attendee and a free tote bag with freebies from the event’s sponsors, as well as a training binder that has information from every class.

“We know that each person will not be able to attend every training session, so we are asking all facilitators to provide printable materials for a training notebook that everyone can take back to their schools or organization to have as a reference,” added Salzman. “During the vendor fair, we will give away thousands of dollars in prizes from our sponsors!”

The specific class schedule and list of vendors will be updated as the training date gets closer. State PTA representatives will be teaching several of the classes to be offered. Register today to receive email updates with specific information, as well as a Web Based Interface (Phone Application) with all event information. Daycare will be available free of charge with preregistration, for children who are potty trained.
