Presented by AVP Teri Davis and open to all
Your standing rules are the agreement between your board of directors and your members about how your PTA will do business. What needs to be there? What does not? Whether your standing rules need a complete overhaul or just a quick update, this workshop will walk you through it. Bring your PTA’s standing rules!
This practice is a key indicator of PTA health and is a WSPTA Bylaw and SOA requirement. This presentation will help participants understand the importance of the nominating committee, how to elect them, and methods of organization so PTAs have the tools to help them recruit the best qualified candidates for the positions. A fair and impartial nomination process involves your membership and ensures your PTA’s success for many years into the future.
