: About EMLC

2010 EMLC

The PTA Emerging Minority Leaders Conference is the perfect opportunity for you to build a national network of peers, and to learn how to overcome the challenges you face as a PTA leader, parent, caregiver or advocate of color in your community. PTA's Emerging Minority Leaders Conference offers anyone working in minority communities the opportunity to obtain usable information and resources to help better engage in communities of color across the country.

The 2011 EMLC will feature an abridged screening of the movie, “Waiting for Superman” followed by an honest discussion of the role parents and caregivers can and should play to ensure that every child achieves academic success. Conference attendees will also participate in a motivating strategy session on the topic of bullying and the impact this growing epidemic has on children, their families, their schools and their communities, as well as exposure to over 60 PTA convention workshops that will empower you as you scale to new leadership heights! Featured workshop tracks include:

Best Practices & Innovation in Family Engagement
Advocating for ALL Children
Improving Health and Wellness
Engaging All Students and Families
Leadership Development
Building the Capacity of Your PTA

PTA is committed to developing a leadership base that is reflective of the diversity of America’s schools and the Emerging Minority Leaders Conference is but one way to ensure that PTA moves closer to fulfilling our vision of making every child’s potential a reality.
