Jeffco PTA is here to help you run your PTA
Running a PTA is fun and rewarding, but it’s also an important responsibility.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICERS AND CHAIRMEN
All PTA officers of your PTA must understand policies and procedures as stated in your bylaws and standing rules and be committed to performing them correctly and completely.
- Attend and participate in meetings
- Review and maintain the procedure book and files for the position
- Abide by the will of the majority
- Respect the privacy of the business of the executive board
- Protect the privacy of all members by not allowing distribution of membership lists to outside interests
- Meet deadlines and fulfill assignments promptly
- Give accurate and detailed accounting of all monies and assets entrusted to them
- Delegate instead of doing it all yourself
- Develop and strengthen leadership
- Attend conferences, trainings, events, and conventions
- Ensure a good transition by passing on all resources and records
- Resign if unable to perform the required duties of the office.
Members of the board and executive committee are specified in the association bylaws. The PTA board should reflect the school community.
The newly elected Board and/or Executive Committee should meet as soon as elected and survey the school community to submit suggestions for the programs and fundraisers for the upcoming year. An officer list should be submitted as soon as possible to ensure officers receive resources and information on trainings.
We have many resources for you and each PTA has an assigned Articulation Area Vice President, whose job is to mentor and be your liaison to Jeffco PTA. If you do not know who your AAVP is, please contact us at info@jeffcopta.org.
