And in your spare time, now begins the process of building the relationships that will help us to accomplish our legislative priorities for the benefit our children, the children of Alaska.
With your holiday cards and the Alaska Legislature starting it's session in January, take this opportunity as a Local PTA leader to congratulate your newly elected representatives. Make yourself available for an appointment to discuss issues important to your local unit.

As a leader of your local unit, you may speak on behalf of your members and for the positions that they have adopted. You may also speak to the Alaska PTA Legislative Priorities that were adopted at this years Alaska PTA Issues Conference, and National PTA Legislative Positions. The legislative priorities can be found on the Alaska PTA Web Page at www.alaskapta.org.

One of the biggest reasons that PTA is non-partisan is that in order to achieve our goals we must be able to work with whomever gets elected, and although some of us are undoubtedly disappointed by the outcome of the some of the recent elections, now is the time to build bridges and repair fences so that our work may continue. Alaska PTA was very successful in accomplishing its Legislative priorities last year and we plan to be just as successful in the new year.

PTA has a powerful voice and Legislators know it, use your PTA voice and make sure it is loud and clear!
