Nominees from the floor must have given thirty (30) days notification before the beginning of the annual convention of their intent to run.
Notification must be given in writing to the state president and the NBDC chair. No name shall be placed in nomination without the written consent of the nominee. A nominated candidate who wishes to withdraw may do so by informing the chair of the committee in writing. Such withdrawal shall be accepted upon receipt”. Nominees wishing to run from the floor of the State Convention must submit their written consent in the MDPTA Office by June 13th, 2012.

Many PTAs run only one membership

one campaign a year have, on average, 20 percent more members.
That’s because potential
members have more opportunities to say “yes” in
becoming a member.
Some facts:
Nationwide, approximately 18 percent of PTA members join in January
and February.
Running membership campaigns more frequently
reminds your members that membership is everyone’s business
