New DIY Kit for Membership Growth

Until supplies last, any PTA leader who registers or logs in at PTAKit.org will receive the new DIY Kit for Membership Growth within one month via US postal mail. The kit contains everything local PTA leaders need for a do-it-yourselves membership plan including promotional posters. To strengthen learning retention, the DIY Guide teaches four simple steps to design a PTA Membership P.L.A.N.

1. Picture who, when and how you will connect with members.

2. Listen to what matters most to your members.

3. Ask your members to join PTA by aligning your efforts to what matters most to them.

4. Nurture relationships with members year-round.

Welcome

Palomar Council PTA serves 31 local PTA Units in the Poway Unified School District (PUSD). Our goal is to inform and inspire our local units so they can achieve their goals. We provide ongoing training and support of unit officers, and encourage their advocacy and legislative efforts. Palomar Council is the liaison between the units and PUSD, PUSD School Board and the Poway Federation of Teachers Union. We also assist district PTA leaders in the organizing of new PTA units. Our programs include Adopt-a-Family (helping families in need during the holidays), Reflections (a state-side art competition), an Awards & Grants program, and an annual High School College Fair.

Council General Meetings are held the 1st Tuesday of September, November, January, March and May. Please see the Calendar tab for more information. All Unit Presidents or your unit representative are encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you!
