PTA Initiatives
See all of our events and activities that you can become involved in by either joining a committee or volunteering!
Levels of Involvement
Let us know what you are passionate about and how much time you want to put into it. If the PTA isn't doing something that fits that, we can start it! 😀
Listed from highest to lowest involvement/time commitment.
Diving in as an Officer
The leadership team of Eisenhower's PTA is always interested in taking people on. Officers are elected by PTA members and serve either a 1 or 2-year team. Officers include President, President-Elect, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary and Membership.
Swimming as a Committee / Event Chair
Contact the leadership team to obtain our organizational list of who's chairing what. If you see an event that sounds interesting, let the President know and he will get you any available information and you can make it your own. More importantly, if you have ideas for other events that you would like to see happen, let us know!
Wading as a Vice-chair
We do not believe anyone should be solely responsible for the entirety of an event - it isn't fair or right. Additionally, those people will eventually leave and we would like to make sure the next president has a crop of people taking the lead on projects. This has a lower impact as you will be effectively shadowing people and supporting them, rather than jumping in straightaway.
Tiptoeing in as Volunteer
If you aren't ready to jump into taking a lead role, consider volunteering. Every event relies on volunteers to make things happen and our goal is to make sure that the chairs are reaching out early and often for getting the volunteers they need to make the event a success.
Getting involved in this way is every bit as important as the above opportunities.
