Convention 2024

Convention is not just for leaders – it’s for students, teachers, families, and advocates. This event is a unique mixture of training, networking, leadership development, advocacy, and fun!  


The Convention includes an exciting, dynamic, and relevant slate of activities. We have included speakers and workshops on topics that are of special interest to our members, while also providing times for interactions and networking so that you can get to know other members from throughout the state and hear what they are doing in their districts.  


Remember, this is your main opportunity to influence the direction of the organization. The general sessions provide you the opportunity to vote on bylaws changes and other issues that are of importance to Michigan PTA. Don’t miss the chance to have your opinion heard. PTA Quickies, Chit Chat with Councils, and Board Drop-in sessions also allow you to interact with board members and discuss particular topics.  


Don’t worry; the Convention is not all workshops and general meetings. We have several other activities like the Health and Wellness Fair, Exhibit Hall, and After Party to add to the fun. Friday is PTA Gear Day; wear your favorite unit’s gear to show the PTA spirit.  


The Convention is for you! Get involved, share your thoughts, visit the exhibits, and get to know your peers!
