Purpose, Policies and Structure

Bylaws govern an organization’s operations and contain the basic rules relating principally to itself as an association.

The National PTA bylaws outline the basic purpose of PTA, list basic policies of the National PTA association and provide a structure for how the PTA association is set up.

The bylaws also provide information on National PTA committee structure, the annual convention and amendment process.
