Are you ready to get more involved? We need you!
To kick off PTA elections, the PTA general association elects a three-person Nominating Committee (NomComm). NomComm formation was voted on during the recent February General Association meeting.
Throughout February and March, NomComm performs community outreach about PTA roles and proposes a "slate" of suggested candidates to ensure each role is filled. This proposed slate is discussed and voted on at the April General Association meeting. Learn more PTA roles here and refer to the PTA Bylaws (Article V, pages 4-6) for detailed information on the election process.
