PTA Nominating Committee
We need 3 volunteers to serve on our nominating committee. This committee will guide the process to fill open PTA positions for the 2025-2026 school year.
As part of the nominating committee, you would:
- Attend the next 2-3 general PTA meetings
- Help identify nominees for open PTA board positions (we anticipate 2 positions will be open)
- Run nominations during PTA general meeting
This commitment would be approximately 1-2 hours per week over next 3 months.
Please contact president@hwpta.org if you have questions or are interested in volunteering.
