Ever since my boys started kindergarten I have been volunteering, attending PTA meetings, and taking on leadership roles. I ventured into that first PTA meeting and never looked back. By the end of the year, I found myself being nominated from the floor as a Co-Vice President and within two months I was attending my first of seven WSPTA conventions. I volunteered in the trenches for fundraisers and school events along with holding every office on the executive committee in my local unit as well as serving with the Council and Service Delivery Team. I have also had the privilege of attending National PTA instruction offered to PTA trainers across the nation. Dedicating my time to improve the lives of children and encourage and mentor volunteers is all worth it.
