Updating PTA/PTSA Leaders in memberplanet for 2021-2022

8/12/2021

 
Picture
All PTA/PTSAs must update their officer information in memberplanet, the membership database used by Washington State PTA (WSPTA). Updating officer information is a requirement for all PTAs per the WSPTA Standards of Affiliation. Doing so gives WSPTA and Northshore Council PTSA the means to contact a PTA/PTSA if a need arises as well as ensuring that all PTA/PTSA leaders are included in important WSPTA and Northshore Council communications.

The way to communicate leader information in memberplanet is through its Committees Module.
There are a number of resources to help local PTA leaders use and understand memberplanet. However, because the Committees Module feature is so new, the documentation and support is not yet very extensive. Due to the importance of updating officer information, Northshore Council PTSA has created a guide to help users navigate the process.
Download the “Assigning and Updating PTA Leaders in memberplanet” guide to get started!

Looking for more help with using memberplanet? Attend Northshore Council's upcoming training!
Date: September 9, 2021
Time: 7:00PM
Location: Online via Zoom
Presenter: Amanda Cabana, WSPTA Membership Director
