PTA Leadership Training Review

PTA Leadership Training Flyer and FB Banner Image.png

We had such a great time with everyone at our two training days in Mandeville and Shreveport! We wish we'd had more time to sit with each PTA and chat more. Please reach out if you need guidance or have any questions. See the LAPTA Board's emails here.

Send us your feedback on training so that it'll be even better next year.
