Set a Goal

5 members over last year? A 5% increase? Write it down, think big but be realistic. A small goal reached is better than a big goal missed.

Track It

Chart your progress on bulletin boards, in newsletters and emails. Check out these

goal charts (Excel / PowerPoint / Printables / Order a sign)

Know Your Value

Why join PTA? The value of our advocacy = $1,000 per student. That's great return on investment! Tell your story with an elevator speech. Share national and local benefits.

Discover a Cause 

Need building repairs? Smaller classes? A safer playground? Recruit parents, teachers and students who want a voice finding solutions.

Create a Theme
MCCPTA's membership theme is "Every Voice Matters." Use it on fliers, posters, banners, newsletters, e-communications and events.

Set Dues
County + state + national = $5.25 per member. Set your local dues based on what your community and PT(S)A can afford. Here's how some units handle dues:

​Offer FREE membership and absorb the cost through fundraisers

Share the cost with members (PT(S)A pays a portion)

Charge more and use profit for programs

Ask local businesses to sponsor memberships

Offer tiered membership

Include incentives (car magnets, t-shirts, directories, yearbooks)

Create membership form
Include accomplishments, volunteer opportunities, loyalty programs, donations, tiered membership options - in English, Spanish and other languages. (sample). For convenience, set it up online. (example)

Create a Database
Use this spreadsheet or software to accurately record membership.

​Recruit!
