Leader Notes May 21, 2025

Hi, PTA Krewe! With summer here for most of you, please take a moment to review the following:

1) Call for Nominating Committee Members

2) LAPTA Bylaws Amendment Notice

3) Officer Registration (Required) and Givebacks.com

4) Input on August Training Days


1) Call for Nominating Committee Members

We need three people to join the LAPTA Nominating Committee to find an LAPTA Treasurer. Ashley Snell is stepping down but will be back in two years. Ashley, thank you! This is a tiny commitment but needed. Request to join the Nominating Committee here. Anyone interested in being the next LAPTA Treasurer can also apply here.


2) LAPTA Bylaws Amendments

We have some minor amendments to the LAPTA Bylaws (not the Local PTA Unit Template). We need to make some changes with elections due to the annual meeting now being in August. They will be voted on at the annual General Membership Meeting on August 23, 2025, in Shreveport. The amendments are posted on the home page of the website or view the amendments here. Email Beth at President@LouisianaPTA.org if you have any recommended changes.


3) Officer Registration (Required)  

All incoming officers are required to register with LAPTA. You can currently register for the 2025-26 year at Louisianapta.org/register -OR- log into Givebacks.com and "Update Officers" under Compliance Menu for 2025-26. LAPTA prefers that you update the information on Givebacks. (This will later only be done on Givebacks.) Email Beth at President@LouisianaPTA.org or Philip at Affiliation@LouisianaPTA.org if you need help creating an account on Givebacks. See more on GB at LouisianaPTA.org/givebacks.


4) Input on August Training Days

So many of you have fabulous and creative ideas for all things PTA, and we need your input on the August Training Days. We are really going to shake things up, have more fun and PRIZES, and rethink everything. If you would like to be part of the planning committee, email Jennifer at Leader.Develop@LouisianaPTA.org.


To all of the outgoing Officers and Board Members, THANK YOU for generously volunteering and making a difference for so many students! Your dedication and love made a difference, and it's been my honor to work with you. For those staying on, I still have one more year with you as LAPTA President. Again, THANK YOU!!


Happy Summer!!!!!

Beth Maillho
LAPTA President
