2007 Annual Convention and Exhibition
Registration Information
Advance
registration is open for the 111th Annual PTA National
Convention and Exhibition, to be held June 28-July 1, 2007, in St.
Louis, MO! Registration booklets were mailed to PTAs beginning the
week of February 26. Most PTAs will receive the booklet in 5-10 days; the farthest
reaches of the country should receive the booklet no later than the
week of March 5. For the first
time, we were able to directly invite more than 9,000 additional local officers to
convention—presidents elect, vice presidents, treasurers,
secretaries, and membership chairs—as identified through OMDR.
National
PTA is offering a $20 discount to those who register online by the advance
registration deadline of June 1, 2007. PTAs can visit
www.pta.org/annualconvention
for more details on the convention and to
register.

NATIONAL
PTA CONVENTION DELEGATE CARD DISTRIBUTION
Because National
PTA convention
is being held in St. Louis MO this year, we anticipate
that the request for delegate cards could exceed the number of
delegates
we
are allotted. As a
result, delegate cards will be distributed in the following
manner:
* To
Illinois PTA
board members and past presidents, in accordance with board
policy;
* To
Delegates who request credentials in writing and have already
pre-registered;
* Distribution
will be on a first come
– first serve
basis,
according
to membership
and geographical allocations; and
* Lost or
forgotten cards will be replaced only
when delegates who
have not received cards have been
accommodated.
Written
requests should include the following
information:
Delegate name, mailing
address and phone number;
Copy of current, completed
PTA membership card, with name of unit and
legible PTA District number.
Delegate cards
for those who have sent written requests will be mailed once
National PTA pre-registration has been closed, and the Illinois PTA
has received the list of pre-registered delegates. This will be sometime in
May. Instructions
for obtaining delegate cards at the convention site will be posted
on the message board under “Illinois
Delegates.”
Requests
may be mailed to:
