Executive Board

The PTA Executive Board is the organization's governing body and the PTA elects its parent members each year in early June. The Board is made up of Officers, which are the Co-Presidents, Vice President, Co-Secretaries, and Co-Treasurers. The PTA is governed by Bylaws. Each year, the Executive Board proposes the annual PTA budget and presents it to the PTA membership to approve. Each member of the Executive Board helps run the fundraising activities of the PTA and also helps to recruit and welcome volunteers.
