open position: vp outreach

Our PTA Board is looking for a new VP of Outreach! Below is a list of duties for this role:

California State PTA recognizes that representative involvement of a diversity of stakeholder groups of all backgrounds enriches PTA leadership activities in ways that more soundly promote the well-being of all children, youth, and their families.
As advocates for children, PTA is most effective when we:

• Understand and embrace the uniqueness of all individuals.
• Identify and break down barriers that impede children from learning, or families from their full involvement in their children’s education.
• Create and work together on common goals that focus directly on the needs of the community.
• Include in our active membership a representation of all stakeholders including families from the multitude of ethnic, cultural, religious, economic and social backgrounds residing in the community.

In evaluating whether or not PTA is as effective as it can be ask the following questions:

• Are there underrepresented groups within the community that are missing from the PTA’s active membership and its leadership?
• Is there enough representation from all groups to give the unit the understanding needed to be advocates for all children?
• Does the way the public perceives PTA allow the association to attract a more diverse membership or lessen the ability to be heard as advocates for all children?
