Executive Board Position Descriptions

Co-Presidents (Two Positions):

The President (and Vice-President) roles are both split into 2 (co) positions, allowing built-in support for our leadership. We have found that the co-model yields more willing volunteers, as there is shared responsibility in the role. This reduces the stress and time constraints of the position.

★ Communication Co-President ★

  • Preside over meetings – executive board, general, etc.
  • Coordinate the work of all officers and committees
  • Communication with principal, IL/National PTA and PTA Members

★ Administrative Co-President

  • Review and sign all legal documents, including contracts
  • Attend Downers Grove PTA Council Meetings
  • Support the work of the Communications Co-President

Co-Vice Presidents (Two Positions):

★ First Co-Vice President & Supporting Co-Vice President ★

The main role of the Co-Vice Presidents are to observe and learn in preparation for taking over the role of Co-Presidents for next year. Responsibilities include:

  • Serve as supports to the Co-Presidents
  • Become familiar with all PTA committees, programs and efforts
  • Organize the kindergarten playdate for incoming students (August)
  • Support other projects, as needed

★ Secretary (One Position)

  • Record the minutes of all meetings of the association, executive board, etc.
  • Publish the PTA Newsletter (Whittier Weekly); provide PTA content for Principal’s all-school newsletter (What’s-up at Whittier)
