Membership Awards

Texas PTA recognizes outstanding membership recruiting efforts. Many awards are automatically calculated based on the PTA’s membership totals as recorded on October 15 and March 15. The Membership nomination form is used to apply for any awards not calculated automatically by the Texas PTA Office.
