One community implemented a community membership form to encourage alumni, families of graduates, business owners, and tax payers to support their schools by joining PTA. They listed all 47 schools with their dues amounts and an area to check off so that individuals can join multiple PTAs. They also developed high school area packages incorporating the schools that feed into that high school (the Monarch Package, the Eagle Package, the Bear Package, etc). They distributed the form at all programs, events, school board meetings, to area legislators, and community partners. So far, they have picked up 135 members including a business and school board member who joined all 47 PTAs! It cost $308 to join all of the area's PTAs. Their expectation is to add 300+ members this year from the community membership form and most are NEW PTA members showing support for multiple PTAs!
