Questions & AnswersHi! My name is Leslie and I am from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village, this is all about the PTA. Chapter 07: What do your dues as a PTA member pay for? PTA members pay dues that include a small portion for the state and national offices. In return, local PTA members receive access to many valuable resources, information and training programs. As a local affiliate of a national organization, local PTA's may be eligible for discounted insurance for special events that are not covered by the school insurance. Non-PTA parent groups usually must purchase more expensive insurance policies to cover special events and liabilities or leave their members at risk. Numerous benefits are available to dues paying units and members. For dues, payments, local units have access to the annual resources for PTA's reference manual containing the National PTA Handbook and Financial Legislative, Leadership, Marketing and Public Relations Resources, subscription to our children magazine which includes a legislative section and reproducible newsletter in English and Spanish, professional deigned public service announcements to aid in membership recruitment, National PTA Annual Convention registration information, back to school kit containing recruit and ideas and other materials to get the year started, Teacher appreciation week ideas, select resources developed in collaboration with National PTA partners, the National PTA membership act, achievement program, numerous mailing on parent involvement programs, fund raising and working collaboratively and much more. Great benefits of PTA membership for individual members include on-line resources including our children magazine that are full of parenting tests, electronic newsletters to keep you informed on parenting and legislative issues, special discounts and offers from Fed Ex, Kinkos, Barnes and Noble and many more, leadership training such as electronic courses, annual convention and leadership workshops, discounted rates on conventions, the member to member network connecting PTA to congress as well as any state PTA benefits accrued.
