MCCPTA Membership Awards, 2012-2013
MCCPTA recognizes local PTA/PTSAs that are building and sustaining membership with three categories of awards. Award winners will be announced at our Presidents and Principals Dinner in May 2013; winners also will receive certificates. Membership totals for PTA fiscal year 2012-2013 will be based on MCCPTA records as of March 31, 2013.
NOTE: Should there be a discrepancy between Maryland PTA and MCCPTA membership numbers for the current year, PTA/PTSAs eligible for MCCPTA awards will be notified and asked to remit any dues owed to MCCPTA by May 1, 2013. Failure to remit payment to MCCPTA may result in disqualification.
GROW IT! These awards will recognize PTA/PTSAs for their year-on-year growth in percentage terms.
Bronze: Membership growth up to 5%
Silver: Membership growth between 5% and up to 24%
Gold: Membership growth between 25% and up to 49%
Platinum: Membership growth between 50% and up to 99%
Diamond: Membership growth 100% and over
BUILD AND SUSTAIN IT! These awards will be given to the three PTA/PTSAs from each school category--elementary, middle, and high school--that have the largest membership in absolute terms.
ENGAGE IT! These awards will be given to the PTA/PTSA from each school category--elementary, middle, and high school--that has the greatest PTA member to student number ratio. That ratio serves as a proxy for community involvement.
