Communicating is any act by which a person gives or receives information through verbal, non-verbal, or written communication. Your PTA can flourish when effective communication helps achieve the association's objectives.
The communication chair is responsible for ensuring that your members, families, school community, and beyond know what your PTA is doing. This includes marketing the PTA and telling the PTA story, informing of events and meetings, and ensuring that the community is aware of the advocacy work of the PTA at the local level as well as by Texas PTA and National PTA.
