National
Parent Leadership Month
Get Ready to Recognize Parent Leaders! |
| Parents Anonymous® Inc. is inviting public and
private partners to join with us in co-sponsoring the National Parent Leadership Month in February 2008.
This major initiative will include a series of national,
state, and local activities to recognize, honor, and
celebrate parents for their leadership roles in their
homes and communities. National Parent Leadership Month
will highlight the many opportunities available for parents,
professionals, policymakers and other community members
to engage in partnerships with the goal of building and
supporting strong, safe families. |

with public and private organizations such
as social services, education, juvenile justice, childcare,
mental
