Reaching Out To America in a New Way!
In 2007 the National PTA Board of Directors authorized the formation of a National PTA Advisory Board. The charge was to assemble a group of talented, energetic and knowledgeable individuals from corporate America and the area of public service to help PTA expand on all levels. This Board was to be comprised of 15 individuals, along with the three National PTA Officers, and chaired by the National PTA President-Elect.
Well, we’re proud to say that the dream has become a reality. Hosted by our friends at Viacom in late 2009, the first meeting of the Advisory Board was held in New York City. To say that there was energy in the room would be an understatement. Representatives from the media industry, Target, Viacom, Jamba Juice, Aetna, The Parenting Group, the Tommy Hilfiger Foundation, McGraw Hill, and Verizon addressed everything from communications to membership to non-dues revenue to strategic planning; it was indeed a great time together.
PTA wants to thank our Advisory Board members, and the corporations they represent, for their time, talent and dedication. We are all looking forward to some exciting ideas for PTA and I for one am glad these folks are on our team!

Until next time,
Charles "Chuck" Saylors
President, National PTA

All teachers and paerents need to demand that the global warming "climate change" hoax be taken out of the textbooks:
Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.
The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.
