2024-2025 Pattison PTA
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Pattison Parents, Volunteers and PTA Members: Your PTA relies on our volunteers to help serve and make a difference on next year’s PTA Board. Please review the positions listed below to find a good fit for you. All are welcome, and we look forward to serving with you!
Committee Chair – These volunteers serve as voting members of the Pattison PTA Executive Board and attend monthly meetings. Chair positions generally require more year-round involvement.
Coordinator – These volunteers report to a PTA Officer, are not voting members of the Executive Board, and are not required to attend monthly Board Meetings. They are always welcome to attend, however, and are expected to make reports and motions at Board meetings as needed. Coordinator positions can be shared between two people.
Please take a moment to read the descriptions to see if there is something that fits your talents and schedule. Please feel free to contact Tiffani Harrington president@PattisonPTA.org or Lauren Rosenberg volunteers@PattisonPTA.org for any questions about the below positions. We can also put you in touch with the current position holder for further questions.
