True leadership isn’t about leading followers; it’s really about building new leaders.

* Listen
* Participate
* Allow others to participate
* Be enthusiastic
* Develop a team spirit
* Be positive
* Be a problem solver
* Treat all people fairly
* Reward efforts

“With strong leadership, PTA will have the competent, committed people necessary to be effective advocates for children and youth.”

A National PTA parent survey found the top three things parents say PTA does best.
* PTA is effective in improving my child’s education.
* PTA works to make schools safer for children.
* PTA has positive impact for all children, not just my own.

The PTA association/membership is the only group with authority to:

• elect the nominating committee;
• elect officers;
• approve/ratify all PTA expenditures;
• approve all contracts for PTA programs, events and projects;
• adopt the budget;
• adopt the audit reports;
• authorize an individual to represent the PTA;
• authorize a position to be taken on an issue after a study; and
• elect convention delegates.
