Michigan PTA in Washington DC
As the nation's oldest and largest child advocacy association, National Parent Teacher Association is committed to ensuring that our nation enacts legislation that supports every child.
Members of Michigan PTA's Board of Directors regularly join National PTA to advocate on Capitol Hill for every child with one voice. This year, that advocacy began with remarks by First Lady Dr. Jill Biden on the first day.
Michigan PTA's President Tracey Troy, President-Elect Tonya Jo Whitehead, Federal Legislative Chair Carin Meyer, Vice President of Child Advocacy Jenn Garland, and Secretary JennaMcMechan attended three days of workshops, plenary topics, and meetings with members of Congress about issues important to students, families and schools.
