The Page PTA has immediate needs for PTA members to join the SUPER-DUPER Communications Committee. If you want to sharpen your social media, digital, and marketing skills (or would like to learn them) and have FUN at the same time, then this is your opportunity to grow.
Communications Committee Overview
The Communications Committee oversees the PTA's year-round communications within the membership and with the community. We are looking for as many people to join the committee for a large team effort. Current opportunities and descriptions can be found below. Members of the Communications Committee may split the day-to-day responsibilities of one or more tasks with other team members depending upon the skills and knowledge of the area.
For example, the work on Social Media could be split between two members working as a team. Perhaps one team member is interested in creating the content and another member is available to consistently post the content and interact with followers.
As such, there is room for more than one volunteer for many of the opportunities listed below.
