Virginia PTA Uniform Bylaws
Bylaws represent the most important legal document of a PTA. Bylaws define your PTA's mission, purpose and principals, and link your PTA to Virginia PTA and National PTA. Bylaws additionally define the basic governance of your PTA in accordance with state and federal laws, establish meeting freqency, voting rights, and the duties and responsibilities of elected officers, committees and members. It is critical that all officers understand their bylaws.
Each local unit PTA's General Membership may adopt adaptations to reflect the organizational norms of your school PTA. Those adaptations are documented on your Local Unit/Council Organizational Structure Form which is stored in your unit's MemberHub account. To find your Region or Council please reference MemberHub. You will find data on your unit under Compliance/'View Unit Data'.
