Review LouisianaPTA.org/givebacks for details on Givebacks (GB). ***Only the President and Treasurer are given access to submit dues in GB.*** Email Affiliation@LouisianaPTA.org for help setting up a new account. If your email is associated with more than one PTA, select the correct Local PTA.
If you use GB to collect dues from your members, on the GB dashboard on the left side menu, select Memberships>Remit State Dues.

There is a yellow highlighted bar near the top that will say how much dues is owed to LAPTA. Click the Send ACH Payment button, enter the bank account information, and click Save. The dues will be transferred plus $2 fee to LAPTA.

The yellow bar will now be blue designating that no money is owed to LAPTA, and the itemized payment will be listed on the page.
