We are still looking for a few enthusiastic individuals for the following positions:

  • Vice-president: This individual is primarily in charge of membership but also serves in a Co-President capacity. The big push for membership is at the beginning of the year so the bulk of the work is in August and September. After that, this position steps in when the President is not available. and helps with day-to-day Presidential duties. The hope is that this individual will step up to President the following year but not required.
  • VP of Fundraising : This individual serves as project manager for the various fundraisers. The VP checks in with the Chairs of each fundraiser to make sure everything is on target and on time and serves as a liaison between fundraising Chairs and the Board. The VP also watches for new fundraising opportunities. This individual is NOT in charge of the individual fundraisers.
  • Financial Secretary: Pays bills and reimbursement requests. Give a receipt for monies received for the association and remit at once to the treasurer or deposit immediately in a bank approved by the executive board and file a copy of the deposit slip in tracking binder. Keep an accurate record of all receipts for filing with the treasurer’s financial records for the association. Perform such other duties as may be delegated to the financial secretary. Record online credits and debits into PTAEZ accounting software. Assist treasurer as necessary including count and record money from various fundraisers.

If you are interested in any of these roles — or you would like to nominate someone — please email us at and let us know!
