It sounds like you need to cover all your bases and get the word out about elections in as many places as possible: websites, emails, flyers, posters prior to your open house. Check out our

I have been "elected" as the President of a PTO that is merging 2 schools. It is something that is changing the whole district and the school PTOs from this year agreed that 2 officers would come from each school. So, we are looking for a VP and Secretary to join our leadership team for next year. Problem - the PTO at the other school has had a messy falling out and they aren't getting along. 2 people showed up for our meeting tonight, one wanting to be each of the open positions. I know others could not come because of kids' obligations, etc. but I want to make sure that the school coming in has a consensus about their contributions to the leadership team.
We have an open house coming up that is just for the school we are merging with and PTO will be represented. How do I "advertise" about the other positions or do I just appoint the 2 that showed up at our meeting? It's not really my decision but none of their current officers are coming over to our school With the configuration their kids will go somewhere else.
