Welcome to Membership

The Membership Committee chair is charged with an important and rewarding responsibility. The opportunities for involvement that PTA membership provides are of great importance. Research has shown that academic achievement among students is higher in schools with active PTAs than in schools without these associations. When parents and school staff interact positively and regularly, their enthusiasm and interest is transmitted to students.

Maryland PTA' s Membership kit will be mailed to all the local units.This kit is designed to help the Membership Chair do their job more effectively. As well as covering the general job description and the basics on getting started, it contains information on building membership through a campaign and a Maryland Development Calender. The 2008-2009 Maryland PTA Membership Theme is "Let's get growing!" This years membership campaign is - High 5! Maryland PTA is challenging every local unit in Maryland to increase their membership by 5 new members!  By doing so, we will increase our Maryland members by 4,000!

Thank you for your dedication to PTA. Have a great year!
