A portion of the membership dues goes to the Conejo Council PTA, the 12th District PTA, California State PTA and National PTA. Each of these levels of PTA provides training materials, workshops, support, newsletters, community programs, legislative representation and advocacy; thus including the local PTA as part of the national network of PTAs. |
