Byrd PTA
Recording Secretary needed!
Our PTA Recording Secretary and her family have moved and we would
like to fill her position. (Many thanks, Kyra! We will miss you!) The PTA
board meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. The
Recording Secretary is responsible for recording the minutes of the
organization (to include Executive Committee meetings, Executive
Board meetings, general membership meetings, and special sessions)
and submitting the completed minutes to the President and Board
members.
Serving on the PTA board is a wonderful way to get involved at Byrd. If
you would like to serve as Recording Secretary or would like further
information, please contact Ben Smith, PTA President. Thank you for
your consideration!
