2026 OKPTA Convention

Participation in state and national PTA leadership development and conventions is an appropriate and important use of PTA funds. OKPTA strongly encourages its units and councils to budget for and send delegates to convention.

July 17 - 18, 2026  ·  Northeastern State University, BA

The Oklahoma PTA Leadership Convention allows attendees to:

  • Connect with mission-minded peers and experts
  • Transform your leadership, advocacy, and membership approach through workshops
  • Find your next spirit wear, fundraiser, or program exploring our exhibitors
  • Celebrate our standout members, local units, and students

Convention serves as Oklahoma PTA’s annual business meeting where members gather to vote on legislative priorities and bylaws amendments, attend workshops and training sessions, and gather new program and fundraising ideas. Our members include parents, teachers, students, and administrators from every area of Oklahoma. Delegates to Convention include PTA leaders from across Oklahoma representing more than 22,000 members statewide.
