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
- 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?
- Watch for upcoming webinars about the restructure where you can view a more detailed look at the plan and listen to questions and answers.
- Attend Advocacy Conference (Tentatively Sept 27th) and vote on the Bylaws that will put this plan into action for July 1, 2025.
