MEETINGS & EVENTS

At this time Harborfields PTAs Executive Boards are in the process of electing a Nominating Committee for their units. Nominating Committees are in charge of recommending officers for next year's PTA Executive Boards. The Committees will consist of existing Executive Board members and members of the units' general membership. The nominating committee's major responsibility is to nominate the best qualified available person for each office. Only individuals who have given their consent to serve if elected should be nominated for office. If a Nominating Committee member is being considered for an elected position, that member will be asked to leave the meeting during their qualification discussion.

If you are interested in serving on the Nominating Committee for your PTA unit, please contact your unit president. Information is located on the school calendar.

If you are interested in serving on the Council PTA Nominating Committee contact Colleen Rappa, Council PTA President, by February 3, 2012 at ptacouncil@harborfieldscsd.org or 631-547-1394. You will be invited to the Executive Board Meeting on February 6th, when the committee members are elected. Click here to see our bylaws for nominating committee and important dates.

If you or someone you know is interested in serving on one of the 2012-2103 Harborfields PTA Executive Boards, please download and complete the nominee application and return it to the appropriate PTA mailbox by March 1, 2012. All Board positions are available for nomination.
