SVES PTA holds elections for board seats each April. The board organizes all PTA efforts and works to involve general PTA members: parents, staff, community members, and anyone else who joins the PTA. The SVES PTA board generally meets about once a month, mostly via Google Meets.
Below you can find descriptions of each board position's major responsibilities. They can sound a little intimidating in writing, but since the beginning of SVES PTA these positions have been held by typical parents, many of whom work full time. For all positions, key skills for success include organization, communication, and outreach/marketing.
President: Leads PTA efforts and coordinates with SVES staff, including the school principal.
1st VP of Membership: Supports the President and manages membership rolls. They work to help parents, staff, and the community understand what the PTA does and promote PTA membership as an important way to support the efforts of the PTA each year.
2nd VP of Programs/Events: Plans student and family events such as the Back to School/End of Year Bash, identifies and communicates with vendors, and coordinates event activities.
3rd VP of Fundraising: Organizes fundraising efforts to support the PTA in achieving its goals for the year. Fundraisers may include Spirit Nights at local restaurants, selling concessions or other items at events, and standalone fundraisers (such as raffles, fun runs, silent auctions, etc.) The VP of Fundraising also actively seeks donations, grants, and sponsorships from local businesses.
4th VP of Hospitality: Coordinates events that focus on connecting the community with the school, such as Granola with Grandparents and the Boohoo Yahoo Kindergarten Breakfast. This person leads staff appreciation efforts (e.g., snacks for monthly staff meetings, Teacher Appreciation Week).
