Let’s look at what PTA offers:

  1. PTA provides an opportunity for involvement by parents, teachers, students, and the community.
  2. PTA is a resource for issues concerning our children.
  3. PTA provides timely information from local, State and Federal levels and how we can advocate and influence legislators on behalf of    children, families and schools.
  4. PTA contributes a positive attitude to ensure the best possible education for our children.
  5. PTA provides a forum for discussion of topics of general concern between school, home and the community.
  6. PTA offers resources available from the State and National PTA to help the local units and its members.
  7. PTA is the only organization whose sole focus is the education, health and safety of our children during their educational years.

 

PTA should be a positive link between school and home. We should be offering the opportunity for involvement in issues concerning our children. Anyone can be a PTA member and when those member’s decisions are guided by a sense of responsibility for all children as well as their own then we all truly become advocates for our future — our children.

Membership Ideas  

 

In any association it is crucial to understand the needs of the group in which you serve. Maintaining relevance is the first step in maintaining membership. The work PTA does must be relevant to its community. People will join your PTA if they find value in what you do. In addition, the same people who join because of value will be the people who stick around when that value is delivered;

To this end, it is strongly encouraged that your PTA develops a member value proposition. The value proposition helps determine what the value of membership is to the individual member. Having a well-defined member value proposition gives your PTA the basis to answer these questions effectively:

 

“Why belong to this organization?” “What’s in it for me?” “Who can I connect to here?”

 

Here are a few tips that can help you craft and effectively communicate your member value proposition:

1.     Define and list all the features and benefits of your PTA membership.

2.     Identify your most valuable and engaged PTA members and ask them what do they value.

3.     Understand the needs of all groups in your member community, the impact to their children, families, and schools.

4.     Think from the perspective of the member and not your own.

 

While every PTA will have its own unique blend of products and services that together equate to the value the membership receives, here are a few general member benefits that all associations traditionally provide: advocacy, networking and engagement, information and knowledge collection and distribution, and volunteer opportunities.
