Would you like to serve on the 2023-25 California State PTA Board of Managers? Be part of the nation’s largest volunteer child advocacy association working to improve the education, health, and welfare of all children and families!
Our Board of Managers (BOM) conducts the business of the California State PTA. We work together to further the mission of PTA by developing programs and policies that support local leaders and by promoting the welfare of children and families in schools and local communities.
PTA has been instrumental in establishing programs and services to improve children’s lives for more than 125 years. We are part of the foundation of our public education system and a trusted messenger to millions of members, parents, guardians, families, educators, and allied agencies throughout the state.
Through commissions and committees, the BOM addresses internal PTA organizational priorities such as leadership, membership, programs and services, communications, and finance, as well as external focus areas such as family engagement, education, and health and community concerns. Learn more about the role of the Board of Managers at www.capta.org/board-of-managers.
Committee-only and consultant positions are also available and offer flexibility to help advance the work of the association in the areas of the Reflections Art Program, scholarships, grants, resource development, the School Smarts Program, and more. Please see the online application below for additional details.
If you’re considering applying, join us for an informational webinar on Wednesday, April 26, at 7:00 pm. You’ll hear from current state leaders, including President-Elect Shereen Walter, about what it takes to be an effective member of the board. Learn about the work of the state commissions and committees, the time commitment required of board volunteers, and the kinds of experiences that are valuable when joining the board.
