OMDR Plus has successfully launched, with thousands of units already using it to run their units more efficiently and effectively. If your PTA isn’t yet using OMDR Plus, the national convention will be a great opportunity to get started on this powerful new system which is free for your PTA. There will be two full days of one hour lab sessions available, with a diverse set of topics to be taught. There will be advanced “train the trainer” sessions (perfect for those state administrators taking calls from unit leaders), function-specific classes for those leaders who need to specialize in only the areas important to them (such as the best ways to communicate, doing membership management, creating directories, volunteer management, etc), and sessions for leaders to learn how to use OMDR Plus to drive membership and increase the success of fundraising efforts.
Try one of our free e-learning courses while at convention and find out much more about this valuable training designed for busy volunteers just like you! This is a perfect opportunity to explore courses in conflict management, planning and goal setting, running a successful PTA program, planning your PTA year, and many more! Visit the e-learning lab at your convenience and take home the confidence to access free PTA training anytime online.
PTA brings value to families, schools, and communities through a variety of tools, resources, programs, and leadership training.
