Frequently Asked QUestions
What PTA board and committee chairperson positions are available?
PTA board and committee chair positions are open to any MMS parent and do not require previous board or PTA experience. If you are interested in a PTA board position for the following school year, you should contact the parliamentarian or a nominating committee member in January or February. You can also request committee involvement - if there is an activity or event for which you would like to be on a committee, reach out to a current PTA board member.
How do PTA board positions get filled?
A nominating committee, coordinated by the current parliamentarian, is elected in January of each school year. This committee then seeks out nominees for each board position and presents a slate of candidates to the membership at the March PTA meeting. Board elections are conducted at the April PTA meeting.
How do PTA committee chair positions get filled?
After a PTA board is elected, the PTA president for the following school year seeks individuals to fill committee chair roles. If you are interested in a PTA committee chair position for the following school year, you should look for announcements in our social media, eNews, or talk to current board or committee members for more information in January or February. The board slate process begins in March, with the new board confirmed in the April general meeting.
