PTA Nominating Committee
The purpose of the nominating
committee is to recognize and seek qualified nominees for the elected
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.

basic policies of the PTA and recognize that PTA is an effective organization

Should be willing to give PTA
