[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else's school having trouble finding folks to volunteer for PTA positions? Our situation (elementary school) is pretty desperate - "elections" next week and no one on the ballot for President (or even co-President), and various other positions.  We're told without a President we basically have to dissolve the PTA.  I never thought I would be at a school in this situation, though now that I'm a working parent I understand why no one wants to make this commitment.

[b]Does anyone have experience with creative ways to recruit people and/or how to keep the PTA afloat?[/b]

May be some one from Rustin ES can help with answer. I saw some thread talking about 2-3 parents contesting for every position in recently held election for their PTA.[/quote]

May be you are talking about this post,

----------------------------------------------

Rustin PTA elections:

President - 2 candidates 
VP Programs - 2 candidates 
VP Membership - 3 candidates 
VP Communication - 3 candidates 
VP Fundraising - 2 candidates; 1 withdrew just before the vote to run uncontested in another position 
Treasurer - 1 candidate 
Secretary - 1 candidate 
Delegate - 2 positions, 2 candidates

This is what engaged parent leadership looks like.
