PTA has always valued its alliance with our nation’s leaders. From its early history where former President Theodore Roosevelt chaired the PTA Advisory Council to PTA's participation in White House conferences on education and youth in the 1950s and 1960s to PTA presenting the President-elect Obama's education transition team with the Public Policy Agenda – PTA has been at the forefront alongside our nation's leaders on behalf of child advocacy and parent involvement.
