On October 26, 2021, NISPA hosted the NISPA Connects and Roundtable event virtually. This event provided members an opportunity to share, engage, and learn about several Parent Association topics. Members were placed in breakout rooms and discussed the following questions in smaller groups, before joining the larger group for sharing.
- How does your PA receive funds? Do you charge a membership fee and if so, how much?
- How are you navigating events, community engagement and fundraising/friendraising initiatives while following Covid protocols?
- What are some of the short and long term impacts COVID has had on your PA in relation to community engagement (new, current and alumni parents), fundraising/friendraising initiatives
The insights and learning from all members was outstanding. The event had 40 attendees from 25 member schools. The presentation was distributed to those who attended.
