First Notice of Election: 2022-2023 Nominating Committee

11/29/2022

 
Picture
​Northshore Council PTSA's 2022-2023 Nominating Committee elections will be taking place electronically.

We are currently accepting self-nominations for the three (3) Nominating Committee positions. Interested candidates can self-nominate by emailing Co-Presidents, Rachel Fitzgerald and Mary Khouzam by Friday, December 16th.
Please note: You do not need to be a Northshore Council PTSA Officer to be on the Nominating Committee. We encourage any interested and qualified Northshore PTA/PTSA member to volunteer for this vital role that will help shape the future of Northshore Council PTSA!

If there are only three candidates, the election will be held at the January 19th General Membership Meeting via Zoom. If there are more than three candidates, the election will be conducted by electronic ballot and detailed information will be available within the January 9th eNews.

Learn more about serving on the Nominating Committee, eligibility requirements, and more information on what makes an effective NomCom Candidate on our blog.

Membership Spotlight: Growth Awards

11/18/2022

Northshore PTAs have been growing! We want to recognize all the hard work each PTA has done to grow its membership this year. We have reached 99.9% of our membership from last year across Northshore PTAs. We have 5,464 members as of November 17, 2022. You all have been doing awesome! 

To highlight the importance of membership growth, Washington State PTA recognizes local PTAs for enrolling more members than they did in the previous year. As PTAs achieve incremental increases in membership growth, they are recognized for each milestone they reach. Below is the list of Northshore PTAs that have received a growth membership award as of October 31, 2022.

November Advocacy Update

11/18/2022

 
Picture

​Update from Council's VP of Advocacy, Jennifer Drury

Last Monday, PTSA advocates, Claudine Miller, Calin Garcia, and Jennifer Drury met with Director Cast and Interim Superintendent Tolley to share their experiences and your input. They described the Top Five Legislative Priorities for Washington State PTA which line up closely with the top priorities for Northshore families. As we go forward, Jennifer would like to hear more from our students and also focus on how we can partner with the district to more effectively address some of the issues and ideas that have come to the forefront. Jennifer looks forward to collaborating with Directors Cast and Hayes when we advocate for students and hopefully with students in Olympia for Focus Week starting on Monday, February 20, 2023. Mark your calendars! 

Thank You
Jennifer would like to thank all the PTA Presidents, Advocacy Chairs, and other community members who took the Legislative Assembly Poll, attended Legislative Assembly, or attended one of the Advocacy Coffees. We at Council appreciate your feedback and telling your stories to help us gather ideas and address the concerns of Northshore families and students.  ​

Upcoming Advocacy Coffees

​Jennifer Drury will be hosting two more Advocacy Coffee meet-ups to be held in December and January. Email Jennifer Drury if you would are interested in attending or join the Northshore Council PTSA Advocacy Community. Dates and locations to be determined.
