2008 PTA January Membership Campaign

New Year… New Opportunities

For PTAs, there is an important back-to-school period just around the corner: the return from winter break. January is a great time to recruit new members, as students are refreshed and parents are resolved to be more involved. New families may also have moved into your community for the start of the second semester. With so many chances to grow your PTA this January, I want you to have all the tools you need to run a successful membership drive.

The “New Year… New Opportunities” campaign features plenty of resources to help you and your membership committee build a stronger PTA—one that truly represents the school community and is a powerful voice for all children. There are stickers, handout cards, fliers, yards signs, newsletter ads, Web banners, membership forms, and a campaign guide to help you put it all to use.

When the new year comes, it will bring new families, parents determined to devote more time to their kids, and community members with resolutions to make a difference. If you start planning now for the PTA January Membership Campaign, you’ll be ready, with posters up and activities scheduled, when they all return from winter break.

Connect to parents’ resolutions to be more involved in 2008, and trumpet the new opportunities available in the new year! Let it ring forth that it’s never too late to join PTA and help strengthen the school community. We are America’s number one parent involvement organization, so let’s invite all of America’s parents to join us as we make every child’s potential a reality!

Have a great 2008!

Sincerely,

Jan Harp Domene
PTA National President
