Are you interested in giving back and making a difference at Stillwater?
Are you interested in meeting new people and being part of a strong team?
If so, please consider joining our PTSA board or leadership team for next school year!
Below are the job summaries for all of the PTSA Executive Board positions. Non-Executive Board and Leadership position descriptions are on the reverse side. Job duties officially begin July 1, 2017 but planning for the next school year occurs before that. Complete job descriptions can be found at: http://stillwaterptsa.org/board-job-descriptions/.
- President: The President is the PTSA liaison to the school. The President meets and coordinates with the school administration, attends PTSA leadership meetings and presides at all PTSA meetings.
- Vice President: The Vice President oversees all PTSA programs and events. We’re looking for 2 VP’s for 2017/2018—one who would oversee all social and outreach events the other who would oversee all special projects and arts programs.

- Treasurer: The Treasurer prepares financial statements, manages cash inflows and outflows, and handles other financial matters.
The deadline to apply for an executive board position is: Wednesday, February 8, 2017. There is a short form that you need to complete to either nominate yourself or someone else for an executive board position. We will be having an PTSA Board Meet & Greet Breakfast Social on Tuesday, January 17, at 9:15 AM, in Portable B where you can grab a bite to eat, learn more about the board positions, and fill out a nomination form if you so desire.
Please contact your Nominating Committee members, Shelly Campbell, Mindy Smith and Amy Pitt either in person or via email at outreach@stillwaterptsa.org if you would like more information about executive board positions. We would love to talk to you!
*Even if the current board members want to re-apply for their position next year, ALL board positions are technically open until the general membership votes in the executive board based on the nominating committee recommendations and the current executive board votes in the future non-executive board members and leadership chairs based off applications received. If a board or chair position isn’t right for you, we also have lots of lead volunteer opportunities!
