48 days until the 2026 Florida PTA Leadership Convention ✈️

At this point, the countdown is getting a little too real 😂

Some of y’all already have your outfits planned.
Some are still pretending you’re “thinking about registering.” And somewhere in Florida, a PTA leader has already started a group chat called “Orlando Bound.” 👀

July 9–12 is coming QUICK and we cannot wait to bring PTA leaders from across the state together for a weekend full of leadership, advocacy, networking, laughs, workshops, and probably at least one person losing their voice by Saturday night.
