Descriptions of Open Roles

Financial Review Committee- Recruited in order to explore the PTA board’s financial records. Will view the transactions and make sure there are no discrepancies and ensure accurate disbursements. This review happens once a year in September. This is a very small time commitment.

Philanthropy- This is a new committee focused on giving back to our community. This chair would come up with ideas and organize some events to benefit those in need in our community. For example a drive for the Blessing Bag Brigade, a penny drive, a holiday giving event.

Please do not feel that chairing a committee has to take all your time – it doesn’t! Many committees are one-time events. Those that are ongoing often only require a little bit of work over an extended period.
