Affiliations
The Crismon Elementary
PTA, hereafter referred to as the Crismon PTA, is a member of the Arizona
PTA,
which is in turn a member of the National
PTA. The only way to join the Arizona PTA or the National PTA is to
become a member of a unit PTA, such as the Crismon PTA, which automatically
makes you a member of both the Arizona PTA and the National PTA.
Another level of hierarchy between the unit (local) and state level
is the council level. A council may be made up of several local PTAs
in the same area. There currently is no council in our area. If you
are a board member of another local PTA and would like to discuss
the possibility of forming a council, please contact a board
member.

committees are formed as needed to support the activities funded
in the budget. Committee chairpersons are appointed by the President
and are accountable to the board. Some committees are Standing
Committees and are active throughout the year. Others are Special
Event Committees and are formed before a scheduled event
to plan and implement the details of the event.
