Questions for current board members (whether or not they were eligible to return to their position):
1. Did you feel equipped and empowered to do your job effectively this year? Is there anything you would've liked to know before you started in your current position? (this will help us if we're recruiting someone to fill the position you currently hold...as well as help us to give new board members good expectations of what being part of the board is like)
2. PTA rules state that a person may not serve more than 2 consecutive years in the same office. If you are in the first year of service in your current position, are you interested in serving a second year? For all current board members, are there any other board positions you are interested in or willing to serve in next year?
3.Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for next year's<this school>PTSA Board? (These could include people who we should talk to about joining the board, or programsthe board should consider, or changes to how the board and/or the PTSA operates...anything you'd like to share with those who will follow in your footsteps!)
