Duties and responsibilities of the membership chair:
There is substantial support available to local PTA membership chairs. In local PTAs that are served by a council, a council board member will be available to support the needs of local PTA membership chairs. In each region, there may also be a membership specialist available to assist local PTA membership chairs. Please reach out to your council or region service delivery team, ask questions, and share ideas. The duties of the membership chair include:
• Recruit a membership committee that reflects a diverse population. Include fathers, single parents, staff members, community members, and people from diverse cultures.
• Work with the committee to set a yearly membership goal.
• Plan membership campaigns.
• Prepare campaign materials.
• Plan and execute efforts to “brand” PTA activities and events.
• Arrange and advertise any membership benefits.
• Lead membership recruitment efforts.
• Collect and process dues appropriately.
• Enroll in the WSPTA membership database all members with a paid membership for the current year.
• Work with the treasurer to ensure all payments to WSPTA and (if applicable) council are made accurately and timely.
• Continue to work on membership goals and campaigns all year.
