The DSA PTSA is seeking nominations for Board Positions and Committee Chairs for the 2014-15 school year.
Committee Chairs work with and support the goals of the Executive Board to promote and organize DSA PTSA programs. Committee Chairs are members of the DSA PTSA Board of Directors. Most committees have co-chairs to share responsibilities.
Committee Chairs attend two or three Board of Directors Meetings each school year. These may be face to face meetings or conference calls. Committee Chairs put together a Plan of Work outlining their events. They work with the volunteer coordinators to solicit and manage the volunteers for their committee. If their committee is involved in money collection, they manage the banks for their events, and complete the required forms to turn in money to an Executive Board member.
For more information about a specific Chairperson position email the DSA PTSA Executive Board at dsa.ptsab@gmail.com.
Send chair nominations to the Volunteer Coordinators at dsa.ptsa.volunteers@gmail.com.
Deadline to submit nominations: 4/7/2014
Budget Committee: Please nominate (yourself or someone else) to serve on the Budget Committee to help prioritize spending of the PTSA for the upcoming year.
