PTA Local Leader Kit

The updated digital Local Leader Kit is available online to PTA members at: www.ptakit.org. The kit is broken into six categories: Mission, Leadership, Finance, Membership, Fundraising, and Communication.  Be sure to check it out. We promise it will be worth your time to review and it will help you be a more effective PTA leader. (Note: If you have not already done so, you will need to set up an account by providing an email address and password.)

Be sure to check out our Running a PTA page for PTA leadership resources.

Election Time Resources
As a friendly reminder to our local unit leaders, PTAs and PTSAs, as 501(c)(3) organizations, are required to follow certain guidelines pertaining to elections and partisan actions.  The National PTA Public Policy Office has provided several Election Season Guides covering what PTAs and PTSAs can and cannot do. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with these guidelines. Non-compliance is regulated by the IRS and can cost your organization its 501(c)(3) status.  You can download the guides at the links below or visit National PTA Election Guides.

Hawaii State PTSA Membership Awards Challenge - Contest ends February 28, 2023

Strong membership is a not only a sign of support for your school and all your PTA’s hard work, it also represents a voice of support for Hawaii’s children. What are your plans for your membership drives this year? National PTA has put together some great resources from National PTA's New Membership Campaign in the Membership section of the Back to School Kit to help you recruit new members and retain former members. We want to welcome everyone to be a part of our association, so let’s show how important our children’s education is to us by becoming a member today!

This year, in addition to our ongoing membership increase (10%+) awards, we have created an additional contest for sharing ideas on how you plan to focus on increasing voices for Hawaii's keiki through membership growth.
