LOT (Leadership Orientation Training)
Required by TX PTA for any elected and appointed PTA executive board positions.  It is an overview of PTA rules and by-laws.  There is a fee of $6 per person.  If you pay with a personal check or cash, you will be given a receipt for reimbursement by your local unit.  PTA checks will also be accepted, and you can use one check to pay for multiple people in your group.
 
There are two sessions available, and you only need to attend one.  Both are on Monday, September 20th; morning session at 9:00am and evening session at 6:30pm, in the West Consession Area of the Merrell Center.  Please allow approx. two hours for training, depending on the number of questions asked. 
 
O&C (Officer and Chairman training)
This is training which is offered by Council, and focuses on individual positions.  It is generally a smaller group setting, led by a Council member, and there is great opportunity to get your specific questions answered.  Classes will be offered for President, Secretary, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, Reflections, Fundraising, Membership, etc.; we offer classes on all board positions, depending on interest.  When you register, please include your name, school name, and the position you are interested in.  We need at least 3 people registered to offer a class; in the event that there are not enough people registered to hold the class that you need, I will gladly get your name to a Council member who would be happy to meet with you one on one.
 
Training will be held at Cinco Ranch Junior High, on Tuesday, September 21st, at 6:30pm.  Please allow approx. 2 hours for training, depending on the number of questions asked. 
 
Please email me at missyboggs@sbcglobal.net to register, or if you have further questions.  Be sure you include your name, school name, position held, and which session/sessions you are interested in attending.  Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you there!
