Video Blog: Advice for Newly Elected PTO or PTA Officers

A hearty congratulations to newly elected officers! We have heard from many of you that you're excited about your new role, but also a little nervous. No need to worry, we've got you covered! In this video, Tim gives some good advice to get you started.



Here is the article that Tim refers to in the video:  A Tale of Two Volunteers.

New parent group officers in years past also gave the following articles a thumbs up:

Another tip for newbies: Make sure you register your new officers with PTO Today to stay on top of all the new programs and tools (and to receive a free Communication Handbook.) Also, if you are interested in receiving a tip a week from Tim and learning about the next free giveaway or sample offer from PTO Today and our partners, be sure to opt in to our Leader Lowdown Newsletter.

One last piece of advice: connect with other leaders! Sometimes being a parent group leader can be isolating. Our message boards, Ask a Question section, Facebook page and Twitter feed are great ways to chat with other leaders and swap stories and ask questions... maybe even brag a little.

Again, congrats!
