We have one year term with a maximum of two terms allowed except for the treasurer - she/he can serve up to 3 terms. We changed our by-laws for that position because the learning curve seemed to be longer. I agree with the poster that said it keeps the board from getting stale. New people really keep things fresh!

We, too, have 2 year term limits in our bylaws. I think it keeps the group from getting stale or stuck in their ways. Although we are realistic - this past year we had no one volunteer for our secretary postion, so everyone was OK with letting our current secretary stay on for her third year. We didn't actually change our bylaws, just looked away for a second.

We serve for one year but are limited to a two year term BUT have a small loop hole that doesn't stop us from running for the same office again if we take a year off OR serve another office. Example? I serviced as Secretary for two years, elected President, too a year off (baby came first ) and now I'm secretary again.

As stated, it depends on your bylaws. Our terms are for 1 year with the term limit being 2 years.

It all depends on what is stated in the group's by-laws. Ours is two years or longer if no one else will take the position. I've heard of people holding offices for 4 or 5 years and some for just one year(such as pre-k's). It also depends on the criteria for officers stated in the by-laws.

Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts on how long an executive board should serve (Pres., VP, Treas., Secretary). Looking for suggestions, ideas, for a group who has done many things for the PTO and wants to see these things continue.
