Advocacy
The role of Advocate for All Children is inherent in the purposes of the Parent Teacher Association. As we speak up and speak out for every child with one voice, our goal is to ensure the future of every child. How can we make that goal a reality? Here are some suggestions for our members:
•   Develop an understanding of the Mission and Purposes of the
    National PTA and the Illinois PTA;
•   Develop an understanding of the positions held by the
    National PTA and the Illinois PTA;
•   Develop an understanding of the Charter Rules of the 
    Illinois PTA;
•   Develop an understanding of how to use the resources provided by the
    National PTA and the Illinois PTA;
•   Develop an understanding of the Resolutions adopted by the
    National PTA and the Illinois PTA; and
•   Develop a sense of “shared responsibility” for reaching
    our goals.

The new format of the Illinois PTA website is designed to do just that: assist you in locating information regarding the Legislative Initiatives of both the National PTA and the Illinois PTA, including the National PTA Public Policy Agenda, the Illinois PTA Legislation Platform in Brief, existing Position Statements, existing Resolutions, and current “hot topics” both federal and state. Happy Surfing!

Barb Quinn, Illinois PTA Legislation Chair
