While this was not the ending we would have wanted, expected or planned for, together we adjusted, came together and found new ways to make a difference. While we wait to hear what the fall or even the upcoming school year as a whole will look like, I know we stand ready to think outside the box to engage, educate and empower our members, students and communities. I am very proud of everything our PTA’s were able to accomplish during this pandemic. We changed our entire path on short notice and did it with smiles and PTA flexibility. Hearing your success stories has brighten my days and I look forward to what new and creative ideas you will come with to not only increase membership but to engage our communities. As I reflect back on the complete term I am flooded with memories of the dedicated and passionate PTA volunteers and staff that I have been privileged to meet, learn from and work with throughout the state and across our nation. From local units, county councils, state committees and commissions, our members have continued the legacy of our great association by providing invaluable programs and services to our schools and communities, by engaging and empowering families, and advocating for ALL Children! I have been honored to work alongside Legislation Committee Chair Dr. Danielle Thomas, Marketing Chair Linda Nestor and Resolutions Committee Chair Khanh-Lien Banko who are tireless champions for all of our children. It is due to the work of these hard working committees that we have seen the influence and impact of Florida PTA continue to grow this year. We have invigorated partnerships and added new allies to help us achieve our mission. I was honored to serve with an incredible Executive Committee that works tirelessly to keep PTA at the forefront of all matters regarding education and children, their efforts guide the work of their commissions with energy and enthusiasm. I am privileged to serve with President Linda Kearschner, whose leadership has inspired our association to expand our vision for the future, serve our communities, and align with new advocacy partners so that we can identify and address issues that disproportionately affect our underserved and most vulnerable students and families. I hope that you take the time to review the information in our Annual Report. It’s important for you to know how hard your Florida PTA Board of Directors works for ALL Children throughout Florida and beyond. I hope you feel a sense of pride while viewing the accomplishments described in the annual report. Without our members none of this would be possible. Whether it’s in our schools, in our neighborhoods or in our Capitol, dedicated PTA volunteers like you are out there continuing to make a difference. I look forward to what we will achieve as we move forward together. Thank you for all you do everyday for ALL Children! 11 2019 – 2020 Annual Report | www.FLORIDAPTA.org Looking Forward . If you are like me, many of us are thinking the same thing. What is next for us? How will we move forward after this global pandemic? With so much uncertainty around schools starting, and what that will even look like, whether volunteers will be allowed on campuses and how will we have membership drives, just to name a few. It will start here, with ALL of us, working together. No one has been where we are today, no one. There is no lifeline to call a friend and say how did you overcome this, it will be up to us to come together as we have for over 125 years and reimagine what our PTA/PTSA’s will look like. The main ingredient to that is YOU! Thank you for stepping up by being a member, a local unit or county council leader, state board or executive committee leader. Together with out of the box thinking, open minds and intentional conversations, we can continue the long history of advocating for ALL Children! Engagement will play a major factor in how we move forward. Seeking out new ways to engage and inspire not only our schools but our communities as well. I know we are up to the task, with a support network like no other; we can achieve what seems impossible. At the heart of children/families, schools/districts and communities, is us, PTA. Now we move forward asking ourselves, how will we PTA? I look forward to you joining me on this journey as we navigate our way to new possibilities! The Family Reunion Tour starts July 20, 2020. I am ready and I hope you are too. Join your PTA Family and together let us navigate our way through these uncharted waters. Let us find new and creative ways to reengage our members, reenergize our communities and continue to advocate and empower our legislators to pass common sense and applicable laws. Laws that are not just for our schools and school district communities but also for the health and well-being for ALL Children! To help us stay connected please remember to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. - Jen Martinez 12 2019 – 2020 Annual Report | www.FLORIDAPTA.org ADVOCACY COMMISSION We are extremely proud of the work of this commission achieved throughout this term.

  • Advocacy Training Toolkit
    Advocacy Training Toolkit Advocacy Toolkit Overview The Advocacy Toolkit is designed to serve as a resource for building a structured approach for advocacy for the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. The Advocacy Toolkit provides a broadly accepted definition of advocacy and underscores ELC’s position and experience in advocacy. Advocacy is a very large topic. So, it is important to remember that this is just one set of tools, and there is not one particular method or approach that should be attributed to advocacy. The Toolkit is broken up into 5 different sections: 1. Advocacy Basics: What is advocacy and why is it important? 2. Legislative Process. 3. Conducting a successful meeting. 4. Best practices of advocacy. 5. Resources. Advocacy Basics What is Advocacy? Advocacy is building support for an issue among audiences such as the general public, elected officials, the media, and key opinion leaders. As child advocates, we work to ensure the children in our communities have a voice and their needs are met. We can do this by voting, talking to legislators about our concerns, speaking up at community meetings or writing letters and/or emails. Most important, advocacy is a frame of mind - not just a job title, occupation, or role in life. Advocates see opportunities where others see obstacles. Why is Advocacy Important? The goal of early childhood advocacy is to improve the lives of children and families by influencing legislators’ and policymakers’ opinions and activities. To carry out their responsibilities, public officials require and welcome the advice that well-informed people, like you, provide.
