Have you thought about helping to support Whittier in a new capacity? Well, we have great news, as we have several opportunities, which we would love to find candidates for in the next few weeks!
- Co-Vice Presidents (2 people, for 2021-2022, become Co-Presidents 2022-2023 school year)
- Attend Executive Board Meetings/General PTA meetings (most likely virtual for some time)
- Shadow the Co-Presidents the first year (pretty low key)

- Communication (includes Website and Directory, one person or a team)
- Keep the PTA’s website updated, assist with sign ups as needed, and manage other communication tools such as the PTA’s Facebook page and Whittier Directory. Volunteers also work with other committee chairs on how to make timely updates on the website. Annually, the person responsible for the directory gathers the information and creates a printable directory. Ideally we could find a volunteer before the end of the 2020-2021 school year so that there is a gradual transition during the current committee chair’s last 2 years at Whittier.
