Dear Advocacy Chairs,
We invite you to use the diagram below as a helpful tool in determining how to allocate your time and efforts in your role. Many of us are drawn to advocacy work by specific causes and issues that resonate deeply with us. If that is the case for you, please feel free to focus on what works best for you and your local PTSA. This diagram is intended to serve as general guidance, not a strict roadmap, so you can customize your approach in a way that aligns with your passion and your community’s needs.
