Elected Positions

What is an Executive Committee?

Each year our PTSA holds elections for four of our officer positions. These elected officers are referred to as the "executive committee" and are a part of our PTSA Board of Directors.

Stepping up to PTSA leadership is a great way to be involved in your student's school, meet and create relationships with school staff members and other parents/caregivers, and work to enhance the learning and school environment for everyone at ILHS!

Our elected officers are:

President: The president is the spokesperson of the PTSA and chair of our meetings. They are responsible for keeping tabs on all of the activities, committees and "goings-on" of our PTSA.

Vice President: The vice president acts as a back-up to the president in all things. They also complete the annual WSPTA Standards of Affiliation document and are responsible for reserving venues for events.

Treasurer: The treasurer is responsible for maintaining accurate and timely financial records. They receive, deposit, and disperse funds for the PTSA. 

Secretary: The secretary prepares accurate minutes of all PTSA meetings. They also maintain a roster of members and verifies quorum at meetings.

Our elected officers are required to attend at least on Washington State PTA approved training a year. One officer must attend the class "PTA & the Law" each year to receive training on PTA non-profit best practices.

To learn more details about the responsibilities of each of these positions, please look over this document.

What is a Nominating Committee?

Each year our PTSA will elect three members to a nominating committee at least 30 days prior to holding an election for our executive committee. The Nominating Committee is one of the most important committees as it is tasked with finding nominees for our elected officer positions.
