President's Call to Convention

We have moved our convention up the coast of New Jersey to Long Branch in Monmouth County. We will still have our great views of the ocean but a little further north. For most of you the drive will be shorter and the hotel is open, bright and spacious.

We will be having new activities added to our convention this year and of course we have our ever popular Idea Sharing Luncheon and our Town Hall Meeting with our National PTA President, Betsy Landers just to name a few of our events.

Our exhibitors will have programs that you can bring to your schools for all our students. Our workshops will be full of information that you can bring back to your parents and students.

I call all our members to our 111th Convention March 22-24, 2012. I urge you to come to all 2 full days and Thursday night for an educational, learning and fun packed convention. Get to meet other local presidents and members from throughout New Jersey and share projects, and programs with each other.

This year, we will also be electing both a new President and President-Elect for New Jersey PTA. Elections will take place on both Friday and Saturday.

Please come up to myself and other NJ PTA board members and introduce yourself to us so we may thank you for all that you are doing for NJ children. We are The Voice for all Children.

See you in March!

Judy

New Jersey PTA Sponsorship Opportunities

The New Jersey PTA State Convention is the perfect venue for your company to directly reach a unique and targeted audience of PTA decision makers. Our convention sponsorship opportunities will allow you to effectively share your message with attendees and showcase your company’s brand, products, and services.
Please CLICK here for Sponsorship Opportunities.


 
New Jersey PTA Convention Exhibitor Opportunities

Your best opportunity to communicate information about your product, program, or service is at the NJPTA 111th Convention. PTA members and officers change annually and, as a totally volunteer organization, are difficult to reach. The approximately 500 PTA delegates that will attend the Convention represent PTA units from all over New Jersey. Information gathered at the exhibit program is shared with other members.

Space is limited, so register today!
