[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really hard to get people to sign up for the PTA, everyone claims they are "too busy" to volunteer their time or support even four things that don't require time during the work day. when the PTA does try to organize events people will give all kinds of well-intentioned advice but doesn't actually want back it up with support.

If this is what you are experiencing, it is probably a few things.

#1) Burnout. If you have two many events or are trying to do too many things, no one will join. If you are doing less than you did before and no one is volunteering, its most likely #2.
#2) Toxic people. If you can't get new people and it's one person doing everything and no one else seems to want to volunteer, it may be that person. Heck it might be you.
#3) Transparency. If your website is out of date, if your budget isn't posted and you don't have clear records, if you have no goals: people aren't going to give you money or time. Oh, and if you used a terrible website builder (and it shows, fyi) no one will go near it.  
#4) You have a terrible meeting time and need to change it so people can actually go.
