AUGUST/SEPTEMBER
1. Make sure the Audit has been completed before the first general
membership meeting.
This
is required of your insurance policy and MD PTA Bylaws.
2. Executive Board at its first meeting:
a. Establishes goals for the year
b. Establishes committees
c. Chooses committee chairs according to your bylaws.
Don't forget about the National PTA Reflections Arts Program.
3. Bylaws: Are your bylaws due for their tri-annual review? If so, establish a special bylaws
committee to review the current bylaws, suggest any or no changes, bring
to the Board of Directors, publish to the general membership thirty days
notice, vote at general membership meeting, mail 3 copies to MD PTA, one
copy to Council, and keep one for your records. How simple is that?!
4. Welcome all school staff and students to school.
5. Launch membership immediately. Aim to increase your membership by at least 25.
6. At the first general membership meeting, present the Audit/reconciliation report and
then present the proposed budget for the year.
Thank you for advocating on behalf of every child, one voice
