The Iowa Congress of Parents and Teachers (Iowa PTA) is a member of the National PTA. It is a membership association with more than 4,000 members, and over 130 local units. The Iowa PTA Office is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and is served by our Executive Director, Gretchen Paricka. The Iowa PTA is managed by a group of elected officers and appointed chairpersons. Our meetings are open to the public.

The Iowa PTA conducts a state-wide convention annually for membership to vote on association business, to train and develop leaders, and to inspire our members. A leadership conference is held each fall to train local unit leaders and to update members on current issues. The Iowa PTA is an active grassroots advocate for issues concerning the health, education, and safety of children and youth. The Iowa PTA collaborates with other organizations across the state to improve the well-being and future of all children.
