The PTO Executive Board will begin planning for the 2009/2010 school year by announcing open
    positions for the Board and Committee Chairs.  There are many exciting opportunities for you to
    assume a leadership role in contributing to Sol Feinstone’s ongoing success.  These roles also
    provide a great opportunity to meet new people and establish ongoing relationships which in itself is
    tremendously rewarding.



    In the spirit of strong communication, we thought it would be a good idea to outline the overall process
    at a high level so everyone is clear on how it works and what’s involved.  What follows is a basic
    overview and timeline.  If you have more questions, please don’t hesitate to contact someone on the
    Executive Board.  Our contact information is on the PTO website.



    Overview:

  •          The Secretary serves a 2 year term once appointed.   ·       

  •          The President Elect and President each serve a one year term.  Upon completion of the first
               year, the President Elect automatically becomes the President for another one year term.

  • ·         The Assistant Treasurer and Treasurer each serve a one year term.  Upon completion of   
              the first year, the Assistant Treasurer automatically becomes the Treasurer for another one    
               year term.  

  • ·         The Executive Board consists of the President, President Elect, Secretary, Treasurer and       
              Assistant Treasurer.

  • ·         Committee Chairs will serve a 2 year term and will be part of the PTO Board.

  • ·         Committee Chairs may only repeat a 2-year term if no other interested individuals step           
              forward by the May general meeting



    Process Timeline:

  • ·         February:  Post open Executive Board and Committee Chair positions through Owl’s Hoot and
             PTO Website

  • ·         February – April:  Recruit candidates and build a complete slate

  • ·         April 30th – Deadline for nominations

  • ·         May:  PTO Executive Board presents recommended slate to PTO Membership during the May    
             PTO meeting

  • ·         June:  PTO Executive Board presents recommended slate for vote by the PTO Membership
             during the June PTO meeting

  • ·         June - August:  Transitions between incumbent and successor



    This is an exciting time of transition where established ideas are mixed with new thinking to develop an
    even stronger PTO.  We hope you decide to be part of the excitement!  You should see the  open
    position communication very shortly.



    Again, please reach out to us if you have any questions.
