Chris Lloyd - Area 6 President

 My name is Chris Lloyd.  I am the returning 2007-08 Area 6 President. I am also honored to currently serve as a TX PTA Board of Directors Member at Large.

 I have been an active PTA volunteer for the past 10 years serving at the Local level as President and several chairman positions.  I have 7 years experience as an officer at the Council level including Council President. I am excited to work with the great board of PTA Leaders we have on the Area 6 board this year and I look forward to great things in my second year as Area 6 President.

I am the mother of a 15 year old son with Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of Autism).  I became involved in my son’s school to be a positive advocate and assure my son’s educational needs were met. The Principal encouraged me to get involved with PTA. I now realize the motive was trying to get me involved in something constructive. Through my 10 years of PTA service and leadership training I have learned the importance of advocating for ALL children. I stride to empower and support parents to be involved positive partners in their children’s education.  PTA advocates for ALL kids including my special needs son.

I have a passion for parental involvement and inclusiveness within TX PTA. I am consistently advocating for TX PTA to continue our efforts to be inclusive of ALL families in PTA whether the obstacles are educational, cultural, or social economic.

 I truly believe in PTA we can make a difference working together for everychild with onevoice.
