PTA Board Roles & Training Opportunity on 1/29/25

This Spring we will be holding elections for open positions. The nominating committee will be reaching out in March with applications. Terms are currently 2 year commitments.

The following roles will be VACANT/OPEN for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years (that means we need new people to fill them as consecutive terms by current board members will be ending):

VP OF WAYS AND MEANS

VP OF EVENTS

SECRETARY

The following role will be VACANT/OPEN for the 2025-2026 school year (the second year of an originally 2 year term):

TREASURER

If you'd like to know more about what being on the board entails, we encourage you to attend a NJ PTA Virtual Training Session on 1/29 from 6-9pm. This would give you more info about how we operate as a non-profit organization.

More details can be found here: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/local-pta-leadership-training-2024-2025/items?cart&mrId

Training is $10 - however, you will be reimbursed for this fee if you are interested in attending. Please reach out if interested.

If you cannot make this virtual training, please take a look at the NJ PTA website for more information about board roles:
