PTO Board elections for 2021-2022 take place at the Member meeting on Tuesday, May 18th at 7:00 – 8:30PM
Our current President, Tania is wrapping up her final school year on the PTO. Joining the PTO can be really fun and interesting. You develop relationships with other really wonderful BSI parents. Meetings are friendly, welcoming and full of creative ideas about how to help our school. You really get to see how BSI works from the inside. You can help other parents and families. You can share your ideas for making BSI an even better place for our kids to learn and thrive. You can make it happen! It feels great!
No experience necessary! On the board most of us start out with no experience. We try to have some overlap of experienced and new board members so that there is always someone who can help you learn how things work.
There are so many different positions available. Why not read the job descriptions? Maybe a part of a position sounds good to you and part of it sounds unappealing or wouldn’t work in your life. No problem — you could split the position! Email the nominate@bsipto.org and we will try to match you up with someone else who would work well with you.
If something looks at all interesting to you, reach out. Even if you don’t run for the position, you might be able to help. Some of BSI’s most amazing volunteers are not on the board!
Everyone on the board is a volunteer with a busy life. We all work to help each other. The more engaged board members and supportive involved parents, the less time it takes for all of us. Is it hard for you to make meetings but you would love to put in work from home? Email nominate@bsipto.org and let us know what is holding you back and what you could offer.
We absolutely need you. Many board members from this year will NOT be running for the board or plan to stay on only to train new board members. We very much need new people and new energy this year. Meaning YOU!
Bid, bid, bid! We’ll raise a glass and close down the auction together at our Virtual Gala on Saturday, May 22nd. The BSI Virtual Gala is free this year. Please consider donating the cost of tickets to help us close our fundraising gap.
