Council delegate meetings are open to all members of our member PTAs. Voting membership and delegate responsibilities are outlined below.

The Council PTA delegate acts as a liaison between the Local and Council PTA.

The delegate:
Promotes the programs and plans of the Council PTA to the Local PTA,
Communicates effectively the needs and wishes of the Local PTA, and
Accurately represents the Local PTA in all matters requiring debate and vote.

As specified in your bylaws, Council delegates may be elected by the membership, elected by the executive board or appointed by the president subject to the approval of the executive board. Additional duties may be found in the Standing Rules.

Who can vote at Council meetings?
