COMMITTEES 
 
Membership Committee

 

The purpose of the membership committee is to build an informed and participating membership familiar with the PTA Objects, policies and programs, as well as the activities of the local unit and community concerns. The Membership committee is chaired by the unit's vice president and consists of 5-7 members.

 

In an effort to facilitate robust fall and spring membership drives, every attempt will be made to appoint members from every sub-community in Ramland. Parent, faculty, and/or student members associated with each of the school's three small learning communities will be be recruited as committee members . Additionally, parent, faculty, and/or student members for the committee will be recruited from each: the Athletics Department and the JROTC Unit.

 

Finance/Fundraising Committee - Ellen Melton/Kenneth Williams, Co-Chairpersons
 
This committee works with the Teasurer to develop the budget  and the fundraising Plan of Work for the unit to fund PTSA activities. Again, we are looking for volunteers from all sub-communities of Kashmere High School to develop a realistic and fun fundraising plan for the PTSA. 

 

Audit Committee  - Rosalind Chew, Chairperson

 

The Audit Committee certifies the accuracy of the books and records of the PTA. The committee assures the membership that the association’s resources/funds are being managed in a business-like manner within the procedures established.

What is an Audit? 

 

Auditing involves following financial transactions through the records to be sure that receipts have been properly accounted for and expenditures made as authorized in the budget, as approved by the general membership and in conformity with PTA bylaws and standing rules.  The audit must review all accounts of the PTA. 

 

Committee Composition

 

The committee is composed of not less than three members appointed by the executive board at least 30 days before the last meeting of the year (check your Local PTA bylaws, *Article XV,  Section 2).

 

 No one who is an authorized check signer on any bank account may serve on the committee. It is recommended that the incoming treasurer not serve on the committee. 

 

When is an audit performed? 

 

An audit is performed:

  • at the end of the fiscal year.

  • when any authorized check signer is added or deleted on any bank account. 

  • any time deemed necessary by the president or three or more members.

 

Preparing for the Audit

 

The outgoing treasurer is responsible for putting the financial records in order for the committee.  The outgoing treasurer delivers all materials to the Audit Committee chairman.

 

Once the records are turned over to the committee, the outgoing treasurer can no longer write checks.  The treasurer should go to the bank immediately with the incoming treasurer and additional authorized check signers to change the signature cards. During the audit, checks should only be written in the case of an emergency and would be signed by the incoming treasurer. Any deposits should continue to be made.

 

 See the PTA Handbook for further instructions.

 

 


VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR - Huey German-Wilson
 
The PTSA volunteer coordinator works closely with Kashmere's volunteer coordinator to recruit, enroll, train, utilize, and appreciate persons who volunteer through the PTSA. The coordinator obtains a listing of volunteer jobs and matches the volunteer to the most appropriate job for the volunteer and his/her skills. Volunteer training includes how to successfully enroll in VIPS, logging in and out of the VIPS system to capture the hours, and utilizing certain equipment on campus. Volunteer training sessions may also include specialized training as the volunteer requests warrant.
