How can YOU help? Join our Member-to-Member Network.

CT PTA invites you to actively join us in our role of advocates for Connecticut’s children and youth. We hope you will join us on March 2, 2005 when our delegation joins with Connecticut Boards of Education to speak with our representatives on issues that greatly affect our children. (CLICK HERE for more information)

We also invite you to become a member of our parent member to member contacts. This group of parents and community members has agreed to contact their legislators in person, by phone, email or postal service to advocate. CT PTA closely follows legislative issues pertaining to Connecticut’s youth but we need your help in getting the message to the legislators who represent YOU! We will send periodic alerts and ask that you contact your representative and let them know how you feel about certain issues. We will provide you with talking points, help in identifying your representatives and further assistance as you may need.

Please contact our PTA office in Hamden to become part of the parent member-to-member contacts.

CT PTA is YOU.  PTA represents our children – Connecticut’s future! everychild. onevoice.
