2025 RESTRUCTURE PLAN
Why Restructure?
- A smaller, more efficient board (21 vs 56 board members)
- Better training for local PTAs and councils
- Better communication to all levels
- Promote committees and councils
- Expand leadership/volunteer opportunities
- Grow PTA membership statewide
- Ensure Utah PTA celebrates 200-year birthday!
What will this change mean for Local PTAs?
- Each local unit will be part of a council that includes these benefits:
- Monthly training and contact
- Resources from Utah PTA and partners
- Networking opportunities with other leaders
- Local PTA units should not see a negative impact or decrease in services
What will this change mean for Councils?
- Puts all councils into Regions with leadership via Region Support Committee and Area Directors.
- Increased training and support via monthly region meetings
- Council will be main contact for all local units
- Utah PTA will provide funding to councils and well and branding training materials
- Councils will still provide programs, training and support
- Increased leadership training and opportunities
- Opportunity to serve on state level committees
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
- Attending council and region meetings to gain more information about upcoming deadlines and details.
- If your membership dues are under $6.00 a member, you need to amend your bylaws to increase your dues to cover the National and Utah PTA dues increase. Minimum dues should be $6.00 per member, but it is recommended to be $8.00 to $10.00 per member. Instructions on how to amend your bylaws
- Plan on attending Leadership Convention on May 7th and 8th to receive training and support.
- All councils and local units should be doing the nominating committee process and elect new officers and board members by the end of March.
