Utah PTA Leadership Academy

The Utah PTA Leadership Academy equips dedicated volunteers with skills to become effective, successful leaders within PTA and throughout their communities.

This series of four sessions provides participants with proven strategies in family engagement, advocacy, outreach, and communication as well as universal leadership skills.

This training is for ALL PTA LEADERS - local PTA leaders, council PTA leaders and Region PTA leaders. It is different in scope and depth than region or state PTA leadership convention training. It will help you understand why these topics are important as well as how to utilize them in your own PTA and community work. The Utah PTA Leadership Academy is excited to welcome a new cohort of leaders who are eager to develop skills that can enhance their PTA and communities.

This training is being offered to PTA leaders at NO COST. Lunch is included.

We are seeking leaders who:

Demonstrate a passion for our vision that every child’s potential is a reality.
Exhibit visionary and forward-thinking leadership qualities.
Reflect professionalism, integrity, and PTA values.
Believe PTA should be an inclusive association for all.
Strive to increase family engagement through programs and PTA membership.
Seek personal development to provide long-term leadership within their community.

The Utah PTA Leadership Academy offers PTA volunteers an immersive leadership development opportunity. The individual's and group's success is dependent upon complete attendance, engagement, and participation. As such, we ask that you check your calendar and lean on your support systems to ensure you are available to attend and fully engage in all sessions. The four sessions will be held once a month in person at the Utah PTA office in Murray. Each session is six to seven hours.
