There are nine (9) requirements mandated and monitored by Maryland PTA to maintain the good standing of your local PTA/PTSA, known as SoCA (Standards of Continuing Affiliation) requirements. Work with your treasurer and board of directors to complete these in a timely manner. Good standing not only preserves your non-profit 501(c)3 status, but it ensures that your students can participate in the Reflections program through the National PTA level and allows you to attend the Maryland PTA Summer Convention and cast a vote!
