OPEN Executive Board Roles

Our executive board roles are elected positions. We currently have two elected positions open:

  • Co-Vice President

According to WA State PTA Bylaws, Article 5, Section 6(G), in order to be elected to office (Executive Board roles) in a Council a person shall:

  • be at least 18 years of age;

  • have been a member of a local PTA or Council board of directors for at least one term;

  • and have been a member of a local PTA in the Council for at least 30 days preceding the election. 


You Belong in SCPTSA!

SCPTSA strives for a board that equitably represents the students of the district we serve. We value the leadership of underrepresented communities—including BIPOC, English Language Learners, LGBTQIA+, and Disabled individuals—and we strongly encourage your participation. We believe the wisdom of a highly diverse group of leaders—one inclusive of families with students furthest from educational justice—is imperative to make every child’s potential a reality. 

As a PTSA, we are committed to inclusivity and doing whatever it takes to make it easier for underrepresented families to participate—including remote access, interpretation, translated materials, technical support, mentorship, and more. We strive to cultivate an environment where every leader can show up as their full, authentic selves, is welcomed into a collaborative and supportive environment, and is valued for who they are and for the unique gifts they bring to the community in support of the PTA mission.

OPEN Board of Directors Roles

The remaining roles on our full board of directors are appointed positions. These roles consist of Committee Chairs and Area Directors. Currently open appointed positions are:

  • Student Representitive

  • District 5 Area Director

  • Legislative Advocacy Co-Chair

  • Membership Chair

  • Advocacy for Immigrant Families Chair

  • Race & Equity Chair

  • Reflections C0-Chair

  • Family Engagement Chair

  • Title 1 Schools Chair

  • High School Liaison Chair

Appointments are made by the President(s) and voted on by our Board. We welcome co-leaders (two individuals that agree to share the role) for all board of directors positions as we believe this supports diversity and allows us to uplift and learn from one another in our roles. Please see our list of Roles & Responsibilities and our Standing Rules for additional information.
