Making PTA releveant in a more-diverse AmericaMembership

During the year, PTA experienced its largest membership decline in seven years. Membership declined by 5 percent (246,048 members) between 2009 and 2010. PTA had 23,051 units at the end of 2009-2019, a 0.5 percent (43 units) decline from last year. PTA has lost 436,083 members within the past three years.

Membership Development To deal powerfully with our membership decline, a historic meeti ng took place

in Atlanta, Georgia between nati onal Membership, Field Service and Diversity committ ees. The teams collaborated on solving the many challenges that face PTA this century.

This year, the Nati onal Council of States focused its meeti ngs on developing future membership approaches. Under the theme, “PTA Membership in 2015,” delegates grappled with soluti ons to current challenges and developed new approaches and PTA membership models.

A team of offi cers and staff visited Puerto Rico in February in order to develop PTA’s fi rst-ever non-English speaking congress in its history. The congress’ formati on will be announced in June 2010 at the 114th Annual Nati onal PTA Conventi on and Exhibiti on in Memphis, Tennessee. Staff has identi fi ed leadership for the congress.

More than 5,000 members and leaders at the state and local levels att ended workshops, trainings and presentati ons held by Nat Reps and Membership staff .

Other presentati ons were att ended by more than 300 school administrators and school board members.

A regional rural states conference was held in Las Vegas to help state PTA congresses in Mon-tana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Alaska, and Idaho—states with geographically-challenging environments—share soluti ons for membership and fi eld service issues.

Membership Success: PTA® MORESM

Membership staff att ended the 11th Annual Nati onal Fathers and Families Conference and held a workshop, “Using PTA Standards for Welcoming Dads.”

Nati onal PTA’s MORE Alliance and the Nati onal Fatherhood Leaders Group will launch Million Hours of Power campaign in June. This campaign will engage at least 350,000 men in meaningful volunteer activities all over the country, and encourage them to become PTA members.

At the invitati on of the Nati onal Partnership for Community Leadership, PTA will present at the 12th annual Internati onal Fatherhood Conference in New Orleans.

Nati onal PTA will host the second Male Engage-ment summit at the Nati onal PTA Conventi on that will feature a discussion with the White House Offi ce of Faith-based and Neighborhood partnerships and the Ft. Wayne, Indiana PTA Council, which used male engagement to grow membership by 30 percent last year.

Helping Military Families: PTA Alliance to Support Military Families

Nati onal PTA President Chuck Saylors has been invited to give opening remarks to the Military Child Educati on Coaliti on at their Annual Conference in July 2010.

The new PTA Military Family Support Committ ee will introduce a resoluti on at this year’s conventi on in support of military family engagement and interstate standards, known as the Interstate compact. This federal and state initi ati ve is designed to alleviate many of the academic and medical challenges of military children who transiti on from locale to locale.

Powerof

Give a little…change a lot�

One Million Hours

Want to know how powerful you are? Researchsays when fathers and significant males are involved in the lives of children; academic performance and social behavior improve. Consider this:� Youths are more at risk of first substance

use without a highly-involved father or sig-nificant male role model.

� Children without highly-engaged dads or a significant male presence are twice aslikely to drop out of school.

� Father involvement in schools is associatedwith the higher likelihood of a student getting mostly A’s.

Use your power to help change thehealth, education, and well-being of the nation’s youth:

� Volunteer at a school event and inthe classroom

� Join the Million Father March andtake your child to school on the first day

� Read to kids, exercise with kids orhelp kids with homework

� Mentor or coach local children, individually or in groups with other men

� Join local law enforcement community policing efforts aroundlocal schools and communities

� Participate in a PTA MORESM

Alliance program or project � Attend PTA and parent-teacher

meetings� Write encouraging letters to your

children and the children of yourcommunity regarding the importance of education

You’ve got a winning team—that’s you and the important children in your life. Whether you are a father or male role model, your involvement ispowerful and produces positive educational, social and physical benefitsfor your child.

National PTA® has a winning team, too. National PTA, the National Father-hood Leaders Group and members of PTA MORESM (Men Organized toRaise Engagement) are on a mission to get men around the country to get in the game and help ensure more positive outcomes for children. Fathers, grandfathers, uncles, mentors and other caring men are encouraged

to join the team.

The Playbook: 350,000 men each volunteer three hours ofservice to produce more than one million hours of volunteer

service to America’s children during the 2010-2011 schoolyear. The children they serve may be their own or thoseof their extended family and community.

America urgently needs men to be involved to help keepkids in school, away from danger, and on a path towardhigh achievement.

350,000 men + three volunteer hours=ONE MILLION HOURS OF POWER! SM
