Emerging Minority Leaders Conference

October 11-13, 2013 | DoubleTree by Hilton, Washington, DC - Crystal City

National PTA Emerging Minority Leaders Conference is the leadership conference you do not want to miss. Join us October 11 - 13 to build a national network of peers and learn how to overcome the challenges you face as a PTA leader, community advocate, parent and/or caregiver. The Emerging Minority Leaders Conference encourages the development of new PTA leaders who can succeed in building bridges to ethnically diverse families to engage with PTA. This conference is the premier family engagement program for training ethnically diverse leaders to serve underserved school populations. You will learn about the issues ethnically diverse families face in our nation’s school systems, develop your leadership skills, and share your experiences with others.
