White House Seeks PTA Members for ‘Champions of Change’ Honor is a new post over at Education Week.

Here’s the beginning, and I’d encourage you to go over there to read the rest:

If you had a few minutes with the President of the United States, what would you say to him about education?

Twelve PTA members working to improve the lives of children through involvement in PTA and education will soon have that privilege.

They will be honored as White House Champions of Change at a special event and policy briefing with PTA leaders from across the country at the White House in August—but first they must be nominated and chosen.

You have until July 10th to nominate exemplary PTA members, or to be nominated as one. The White House and the National PTA are looking for volunteers who have dedicated time, talent and a powerful voice to improving educational equity and opportunity for every child. To nominate someone, visit PTA.org/championsofchange.

You can read about Myrdin Thompson, an parent engagement leader who was named a “Champion of Change” earlier this year and met with The President, here.
