PTA Officers:

Avoid the pressure; ease your tasks
Now’s the Time!
Just Between Friends knows how pressured you feel when you have to meet deadlines. So, this year we’re encouraging all units to begin adding members for the 2010 – 2011 school year – NOW. This will help to ease your workload as you ease into the new school year.

As you know, Just Between Friends enables you to streamline your member management, communications, directories and volunteer management. It was developed to simplify your life and strengthen your PTA. And, we’ve been working over the past year to increase the speed and enhance the system based on requests we’ve received from local PTA units.

This is also a good time of year to get your new officers involved. Have them visit http://www.pta.org/2056.htm to learn about Just Between Friends. They’ll also get lots of “how-to” information by visiting www.learnjbf.com.

Purposes of the PTA

• To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship. • To raise the standards of home life. • To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth. • To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth. • To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.

Insurance Altert

PTA bylaws require local units to carry insurance including director/officer, liability , and bonding to be a unit in good standing. Colorado PTA has negotiated comprehensive coverage at volume discount rates from AIM as the preferred provider for the Colorado PTA. Your AIM renewal offer will come in September or early October and should not be confused with offers from other providers that might appear to be this annual insurance renewal. A PTA unit may obtain insurance from another insurance provider as long as the coverage requirements of the bylaws are met. When considering other providers, it is recommended to compare coverage amounts and rates as well as the actions required by the provider for covering your PTA events and property. Contact the Colorado PTA office if you have any additional questions.
