A few notes and reminders:
We are looking for 2 volunteers to take on Chair positions for 2 of our committees. While not elected positions, having these individuals participate more fully in PTA business will help ensure the sustainability of the organization and balance workloads. They work with board members behind the scenes and also participate in board meetings.
The positions open are for Communications and Membership. If you are interested, please email [email protected]
