Membership

The main goals of the membership chair are to recruit and retain members who support the purposes of PTA and wish to further the goals PTA has chosen to focus on. As the membership chair, you are often the first board member a guest will encounter. Take time to be positive and encouraging so a potential member will form a great first impression of PTA!

Honorary Life Membership and Extended Service Awards

Honorary Life Membership Award - Receiving the Honorary Life Membership is one of the highest forms of recognition to let a volunteer know how much you truly appreciate their dedication to our children and the community.

Extended Service Award - The Extended Service Award is for those who have continued to give outstanding service to PTA for 10 years or longer.

ACPTA will honor volunteers from across Allen ISD at the Life Member Banquet on April 9, 2024 at the Performing Arts Center.
