Responsibilities of the Public Relations VP/Chair
Every PTA unit on every level needs a public relations vice president or chair who works intimately with the president and the executive board. As technology and communications change, it is crucial that we use all the available sources at our fingertips to reach out and touch every family that we can through the PTA mission. Our mission is a strong foundation on which we can help sustain families and strengthen the future of education for every child. Public relations should:

3. Showcase your school
4. Get parents excited and involved in school events

6. Invite the media to promote your school
7. Use social media sources to communicate
8. Be a link with your school as an information highway into the home
