The Minnesota PTA Leadership Summit brings PTA leaders and members from across the state together to learn, share ideas, and strengthen their PTAs. More than just training, the Summit offers practical tools, valuable resources, opportunities to connect with other leaders, and a chance to participate in important Minnesota PTA association business.

Every school community deserves a voice at the table! We encourage every PTA to send representatives to learn, connect, and help shape the future of PTA in Minnesota. Don't miss this opportunity to represent your school community and bring back valuable ideas and support to strengthen your PTA!

Previously known as the Minnesota PTA Leadership Training and Convention, the event was renamed in 2026 to better reflect its focus on learning, collaboration, and participation in the association.

Now more than ever, your PTA needs a voice at the table!

The Minnesota PTA Leadership Summit is an important opportunity to connect with leaders from across the state, find practical resources and support to strengthen your PTA, and help shape the future of PTA in Minnesota.

Whether your PTA is thriving or facing challenges, you'll leave with valuable tools, ideas, and connections to better serve your school community.

Every PTA deserves to be represented! We encourage each local PTA to send at least one leader, and we welcome as many leaders as you'd like to bring! Come together, gain valuable information to share with your team, and ensure your school community has a voice in shaping our future.

Don't let your PTA miss out!
