Angela's Advice...Importance of a Membership List



  • ·         Membership List helps you track current and previous members to check statistics on your renewal rate and keep tabs on other metrics such as how quickly Kindergarten families join
  • ·         Helps you to have checks and balances as to what amount you are paying to Ohio PTA for Ohio and National Dues; your check amount should coincide with the number of member names you are sending in on the list each time; DO THIS EACH TIME DUES ARE SENT
  • ·         Down the road, National will probably have a database set up where Ohio PTA can upload your list and your members can be tracked Nationally; FOR NOW, please have any members new to your unit or PTA go to www.pta.org and create a profile-this is how National PTA shows the power in our one voice when they advocate and apply for grant funding
  • ·         Try color-coding your list so that you can easily track who is paying to renew versus who is a new member
