PTA NEEDS YOU, PTA MEANS YOU!
Hello CHB Community!!
The CHB PTA is actively recruiting executive board members to serve for a two-year term starting school year 2021-2022. As many of you know, the CHB PTA plays a vital role in our community. The PTA not only supports, funds, and creates programs for our children but also for teacher development. Simply put the PTA brings a variety of services and programs that ensures EVERY child within CHB receives community support through arts, STEM, and plain old kid fun.
To make this happen, the PTA needs strong, dedicated, and exuberant family members on its Executive Board. Following are the open positions:
RECORDING SECRETARY
TREASURER
Two CO-VICE PRESIDENTs
(who will become the Co-Presidents 2022-2023)
Below are descriptions of the roles and time commitment. It is important our Executive Board represents the diversity of our school and we encourage all our families to consider adding your unique voice to our school.
The nominating committee (made up of past presidents) will nominate the slate of candidates in June at the last PTA meeting. Based on a majority member vote, the candidates will then be voted in.
The current Executive Team and Nominating Committee are here to answer any and all questions you may have about these positions and will support all the new candidates as you get “your feet wet.” We hope that you (yes you!)will think this over and talk amongst your family (including your children) and see if this is a fit for you.
We thank you for reading this email in its entirety and if there are any questions, please contact us directly.
