PTA Nominating Committee

leadership of the PTA. The members of the committee, therefore, have a
tremendous influence on the future of the PTA and should be selected carefully.
Serving on a nominating committee is an honor and a privilege. This committee
is the PTA’s most influential internal body, and because it deals with
sensitive issues, deliberations of this committee are kept confidential.
Nominating committee members should have a broad acquaintance with the
membership and an understanding of the organization’s functions and its
purposes. The committee should include both experienced leadership as well as
newer members.

Nominee must be a PTA member;
Must support the Purposes and
basic policies of the PTA and recognize that PTA is an effective organization
working for all children and youth;
Should have effectively carried
out previous PTA and/or other organizational responsibilities;
Should have knowledge of the
organization and its role in the school and community;
Should be willing to give PTA
