Membership
PTA is a membership organization. We rely on our nearly 6 million members to contribute their time and skills to school communities. Every individual who joins PTA helps not only his or her own child but every child. Imagine how strong your community could be if every parent, every community member, and every business leader got involved in PTA!
Attracting new members and retaining existing members are among the most important duties of a PTA. A strong membership is essential if PTA is to be a force in decisions involving the welfare and education of children.
A thriving membership doesn’t just happen; it requires good planning and year-round attention. Encourage your membership chair to use materials and resources provided from state and National PTA. In addition to the
Membership Month materials, a variety of materials were also included in the
Back-to-School kit mailed earlier this summer to your local unit president.
Membership Management and Communications
To better inform all PTA members and enhance the effectiveness of our child advocacy efforts, in 2009 National PTA® selected Just Between Friends as the PTA membership management and communication system. Just Between Friends was chosen because they exhibit “best-in-class” capabilities for a private, secure system. Designed to give local units a direct means for entering data into PTA’s member database, Just Between Friends (JBF) can help all levels of the association be more efficient with funds and respond better to member needs.
PTA recommends that all units use Just Between Friends to enhance local units' membership and communication capabilities. It will simplify your life and strengthen your PTA. You can enter your unit into the system by visiting
www.JustBetweenFriends.com/PTAquickstart. To learn how to use the system, visit
www.LearnJBF.com. Here you’ll find lots of “How-to” information, useful insights plus a list of live and recorded webinars, as well as self-training modules. At
www.LearnJBF.com, you’ll also be able to download PDFs with step-by-step instructions – including how to print membership cards.
