Important Membership Information for Unit Membership Chairs

 

 

 

 

Membership Dues Increased to $4.00!

 

REMINDER: Please write your 5-digit UNIT CODE number on ALL correspondence.  Two signatures are required on all PTA checks.

 

Membership Card Confirmation - Record receipt of your membership cards here.

 

Membership cards are mailed the second half of August. The packet is mailed to the address of the president on file with NYS PTA.

 

In order to receive your cards, it is important that your PTA unit has fulfilled the following requirements:

·         The Annual Officers' Contact Information Update (Form A) was entered online or returned to your Region Director.

·         Your unit has paid for insurance for current school year.

·         Your unit paid for at least 25 members for the previous school year. If you had fewer than 25 members, you need to contact your Region Membership Chair or Region Director for guidance.

If all three of these items have been accomplished, and you have no outstanding membership dues issues from last year, then your unit has met its obligations in order to receive the new membership card mailing! If not, then you need to address the above issues in order to ensure receipt of your cards to begin your membership drive.

If you do not have your membership cards by the end of August, please contact your Region Director for assistance.

Membership Awards

 

Membership awards can be earned for many different reasons. The awards are a great way to show parents in your school how active and successful your PTA is! There are some awards that are automatically earned and others that need to be applied for (details about the application process are mailed to the unit presidents in February).   Remember, though, that in order to qualify for any membership awards, a PTA unit must be in good standing.  To learn more about the awards available click here, or download a PDF of this information here.
