[quote=Anonymous]I served on the PTA board for two years. I have since quit, and have not gone to a single meeting or helped with any fundraising. And here's why...We live in a pretty affluent area, and raised a good sum of money. But when it came to deciding how to spend that money, there were three other board members who dictated everything. I was the only voice of dissent. And let me tell you, what they spent it on was incredibly wasteful. There was no open discussion about how to spend the funds. It was all done in secret, and then presented at the PTA meetings as a done deal. It was also in incredibly cliquey. Very few outsiders could break in to the inner world of PTA. So I can see why not many want to volunteer to help. But I think the "insiders" actually like it that way - it gives them more power.[/quote]
