Lead the PTA way!

The secretary is  a very important position in PTA, and one of only two positions Louisiana law requires to create and maintain incorporation with the Louisiana Secretary of State!  You are responsible for keeping accurate records of all unit actions and the history of your PTA.  Never say "I'm just a secretary!"
