Episode 6: About our Guest

Theresa Rogers is a married, mother of two daughters, one at Stanton and the other at the University of Florida. She is a graduate of UF and worked in non-profit. She has volunteered with PTA for many years and is currently the president of the Duval County Council of PTAs/PTSAs.

Duval County Council PTA is a group of local PTAs organized under the authority of the Florida PTA. The mission of the PTA is to be a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child. Local PTAs join the Council as a unit, not as individual members, and pay dues according to the Council bylaws. The Council president is a member of the Florida PTA Board of Directors. A County Council is the direct line of support and resource to the PTAs within its boundaries. The PTA has taken the lead in promoting juvenile courts, school lunch programs, transportation programs and child labor laws, to name a few.
