My PTA/PSA Awards

To simplify the paperwork for units and councils, the California State PTA has consolidated the application process for the awards formerly known as Creative Membership, Student Involvement and Outstanding Unit/Council.This awards program recognizes the achievements of local units and councils in multiple areas of involvement and will share the ideas with others throughout the state.

To be eligible for the "MY PTA/PTSA" Award, a unit must be a member of the Chairman's Club in the year that it applies for the award. The new application allows applicants to qualify for consideration in multiple categories. With one application, units and councils will have the opportunity to submit for any of the categories below as well as request to be considered for Outstanding Unit or Council through the same application. ("MY PTA/PTSA" Award application, Forms 399 in the Toolkit)

• Membership Creativity
• Your Outreach
• Parent Involvement
• Teachers, Administrators & Staff Involvement
• Student Involvement
• Allied Agencies/Community Partners Involvement

The winners will be announced at March Board of Managers Meeting. There will be up to two winners in each of the 14 award categories. Winners will receive two registrations to the California State PTA Convention. Winners may be asked to participate in a workshop at the California State PTA Convention. Awards will be presented on stage at the California State PTA Convention. Other expenses are the responsibility of the winning unit, council, or attendee.

All applications must be received in the California State PTA office through channels by February 1. Facsimiles or e-mailed applications will not be accepted. Applications are due to Pleasanton PTA Council by January 1st.
