    • Membership: Dues Increase
      • Members of the WA State PTA voting body during the 2024 National PTA Virtual Convention adopted a $1 increase to the National PTA dues rate. The new National PTA dues rate of $3.25 will go into effect on July 1, 2025. This includes any membership sold for FY2026 before July 1, 2025.
      • For all PTA memberships sold starting in the membership year 2025-2026—which starts July 1, 2025—please collect dues based on the new National PTA dues rate of $3.25.
      • Local PTAs have two options regarding the $1.00 National PTA dues increase:
      • Keep your overall dues the same and incur a $1.00 loss per member to your local PTA or
      • Adjust your overall dues by $1.00 to prevent any revenue loss for your PTA. Washington State PTA recommends that your local PTA adjust your overall membership dues by $1.00 to prevent any revenue loss.
      • This change allows PTA to launch new initiatives and strengthen existing programs that empower families and communities. Together, we are creating lasting change and making a real difference!
