Function of the
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee (formerly "Publicity"), was created to advertise the many great activities that the PTA funds and/or promotes. Each school has, or should have, a designated representative. The school rep's function is to photograph PTA events at their schools and forward those pictures to the committee chairpeople. They may opt to write an article or create a flyer themselves, but they must be submitted to the chairpeople for their approval. Alternatively, they may request that the chairpeople write the articles. If the second option is selected, the school reps should provide the necessary information concerning the event and submit that, along with any photos, to the chairpeople.
As for the other PTA committees, they should submit photos to the Communications chair-people for posting on the website. Individual committees may decide whether to publicize the event themselves or to have the Communications Committee handle it. If they choose the latter, they, too, should submit information to the Communications chairpeople in a timely manner.
The Communications chairpeople are responsible for posting items and photos on the website, in the GC kiosks and/or in the local newspapers. They assist other committees in publicizing their events, on request. As to district-wide events and activities, such as the Blood Drive, general meetings, Homecoming and the June Calendar meeting, the Communications chairpeople take the lead in publicizing them.
