Hello Pittsford Central PTSA members!

 

Choosing the leadership for PTSA is an important part of our spring activities. For our elected positions, our Nominating Committee has put forth the following slate of officers:

 

• President-elect: Kristen Hans

• Secretary: Lance Riegert

• VP of Program Support: VACANT

• VP of Resources and Development: VACANT

 

 

Voting: Given that there are two vacancies and anyone can run from the floor for any position, our June 5th meeting at 7pm at Calkins Road Middle School in the Commons is an important meeting to attend for all members.

 

We will be voting by ballot for any position that has a member running from the floor. We ask that the slate and all members who express interest running from the floor be present at the meeting for a 2 minute introduction to present yourself to others before voting begins.

 

Volunteering/Running from the Floor: Interested in running for one of the vacant positions? Contact our Nominating Committee Chair, Deepika Singh at deepikanyc@gmail.com by 7pm on May 31st stating your intention to run from the floor on June 5th. No late submissions will be accepted as per our bylaws. You must be a current member of PTSA to run for or hold a leadership position.

 

Membership Requirements: Only current PTSA members will be allowed to vote for candidates on June 5th. If you are receiving this message, you are a PTSA member this year and may vote. PTSA membership closes for the year on June 1st. If you have a family membership (1 membership for $17), the person who signed up is the person who can vote. The guidance for student members is that they be able to understand and vote on their own without adult intervention. NYS PTA previously stated this would usually be around late elementary age.

 

The officer positions are not the only positions available for volunteering! We have a number of school level and district-level positions available and look forward to supporting you if you are interested in these. Check with your current school chairs or e-news for school-level positions.

 

District-level positions that are open right now (there might be others):

 

• BRMS chair and co-chair

• CRMS chair and co-chair

• SHS chair and co-chair

• TRE co-chair - to work with Lance Riegert, chair

• Membership Chair

• Cultural Arts and Visiting Author Chair

• After School Enrichment Program District Chair

• Social Media Administrator

• Website Administrator & Technical Support (shadow and learn the role for next year)

 

If you are interested in any of these positions or any other position that is currently filled, please reach out to districtptsa@pittsfordptsa.net with what you are interested in. We would be happy to talk about each position and look at options to shadow or keep your name in the list in case a vacancy arises! We are 100% volunteer run and we appreciate everyone’s interest to serve. If you do take a leadership position, we are excited to provide leadership training for all district-level leadership as well as any building-level leadership who would like to attend on June 11th from 2-5pm at Calkins Road Middle School in the Commons. We are here to support you and get you off to a good start!

 

Thanks to all who have volunteered their time for a leadership position and those who are stepping into new ones. We could not do our amazing work without you.
