delegate information

Delegates are elected at an association meeting after convention fees are posted by the California State PTA and before the convention.  Now is the time to elect your delegates and review your budget to determine if additional funds can be allocated to the budget to fully fund expenses for your voting delegate(s) and non-voting delegate(s), or to set a reasonable reimbursement that is not to exceed a specific amount per person.

What does a delegate do?  

  • Attends every Convention General Meeting, workshops/table talks each session, and CAPTA evening event.

  • Meets and mingles with other 32nd District attendees, CAPTA Leaders and other PTA members from across California.

  • Submits a report about the Convention to their unit/council.

  • Most importantly – Votes on behalf of their association, on any resolutions or other actions brought up for discussion
