Ohio PTA Nominating Committee is Looking for Leaders!
Advocating for our families and making every child’s potential a reality takes the passion and dedication of many volunteers. Leaders at the state level of PTA come from all corners of our state. The legacy of Ohio PTA continues to thrive because of the leaders developed from the local unit, council, and region PTAs as well as those who bring specific volunteer and/or professional expertise to our advocacy. PTA leaders have diverse talents and abilities, and each person adds something unique to the team. If you are interested in serving on the Ohio PTA Board of Directors - please see the attached letter of Interest. The deadline for all materials to be received by the Nominating Committee chair (beresgerri@gmail.com) is October 31st, 2022.
Congratulations and a welcome to the new chartered units:
Ferdinand Schumacher CLC PTA, Akron Council
AF Falcons PTSA, Austintown Council
Euclid Early Learning Village, Euclid Council
Helping Hands and put the T in PTA Awards
Ohio PTA has two awards for units ( in working with their councils OR if you don't have a council ) to participate in recognizing outstanding individuals. The Helping Hand Award is for a volunteer who has made a positive impact on the lives of children and always helping at the PTA. The T in PTA is a way to recognize a certified staff that always goes above and beyond for the PTA, and its programs, or has made a positive impact in the lives of children. Further guidelines are on the forms- see attached!
