 Message from OKPTA President

After a few months of getting my feet wet I feel as if I am starting to get the hang of things. It has been a bit of a whirlwind but I am enjoying the privilege of serving as your state president.

Your Oklahoma PTA State Board is busy at work and has developed a comprehensive, and attainable, set of goals for the next two years. One of those goals is to get to know you better! Serving our members and units is one of our top priorities. I would love to hear from you and your suggestions on how we can reach this goal. You can reach me by email at ok_pres@pta.org.

Membership is also a top priority. I hope you are still working to increase membership in your unit. Below is an interesting piece provided by Chuck Saylors, National PTA President. A link is also provided that gives great tips on how to run a New Year Membership Campaign.

I want to thank you for all you are doing for Oklahoma's children! Volunteering is such an important job and I am proud to be a part of an organization that dedicates 100% of its efforts and energies to improving the lives of children.

Sheila Groves

5.bmpMembership is Year-Round!

 

Units that run more than one campaign a year have, on average, 20 percent more members! That’s because potential members have more opportunities to say “yes” to becoming a member. Here are some facts:

1) Nationwide, approximately 18 percent of PTA® members join in January and February.

2) Running membership campaigns more frequently helps remind our members (and potential members) that membership is everyone’s business, especially if you weave   membership into programs, activities, and general PTA work, too.

3) The months of January and February are not too late for parents to make a real impact in the current school year. Plus, those who join PTA in January and February will be ready to renew their membership the following school year.

4) One way to spice up your membership campaign is to participate in the Jamba Juice School Appreciation Program and get members new and old to help you earn funds for your units (where available).

This January and February, National PTA is reprising the membership campaign theme “New Year… New Opportunities.” The theme plays on our optimism that the new year brings new opportunities to improve ourselves, our lives, and the world around us. For adults, the world in which they want to make a difference is largely defined by children and children’s success. We encourage you to ask parents, relatives, and friends to make it their number one resolution to be more involved in the education of their children. It’s a resolution they’ll want to keep, and they can easily do so by joining PTA.

Campaign materials and tips are online at PTA.org/January.
